[QUOTE=".30US, post: 1590664, member: 19108"] I am waiting until the regulations change to get my FFL and start doing commercial work, but I don't know a single gunsmith already in business that has had an ATF examiner care what State Department's definition of "manufacturing" is since it conflicts with BATFE's. The down side is State's imposes retroactive penalties to when you began your business if they find you not in compliance. Not worth the risk to me to save $2200/year. Smith & Wesson was on to something when they started drilling and tapping all of their larger revolvers in the late '90s or early 2000s. I think they saw how many people were having it done aftermarket, and just went ahead and drilled and tapped theirs so you could remove the rear sight and have the holes already underneath. I don't have any new enough to have them, but did some action jobs for friends on newer S&Ws that did. [/QUOTE]
