Hi. Back in 'the day', I had not only a FFL, but also an 'ammo manufacturing license'.... I thankfully, let them expire.
So, now, I am heavily into Savage rifles, and have a bunch and luv em'..... Mostly Axis, but a few M12s.
I have a machine shop here and do a lot of fabrication/welding as a hobby, as I am a retired IBM EE. I have recently purchased several reamers from PTG plus the necessary go / no-go gages, bbl wrenches, vises, etc.
Been having a great time rechambering Axis/Stevens bbls from .223 to .221 Fireball or .223 AI.
If I wanted to do this for other folks, what would the LEGAL requirements be? I know you can mail a bbl. The receiver, being serialized, might be consider a 'firearm'.
What if someone were to send me a bolt in one package, and the rcv in another? I could do the bbls on an 'exchange' basis as I have a quantity (don't ask!) of new .223 bbls, for the Axis in 22".
Not wanting to go afoul of the USPS or UPS, just wanting to help out other Savage fans. I would prefer to do the head spacing personally, to allow the customer to have more of a 'drop in' rifle.
If desired, I could supply a 'go' gage for free with a rechambering job. These are pretty easy to make with tool steel, a good lathe, and a Forester kit....
Your opinions please. Firesuit not required? ha ha
thanks
ron
