Thanx Bill but I beleive there is a difference, if gun is sent to gunsmith there is no intent to sell it just to get repairs made. Legal to return gun directly to owner. But firearms laws state if gun is left on consignment with ffl with intention for sale, owner must complete 44-73 form and NICS check to get his own gun back. Even if at ffl for one day. back to my question, it is more like consignment situation than your gunsmith example. But now its more complicated because owner iss in another state??? CB
