DAvey K,
I just talked to Lauri Gulardi in the Dallas office of the BATF. 469 227 4321. She said if you would like call her, she will tell you the facts of life. If that is not good enough send me an email or PM with your address and she will give it to you in writing. Any weapon taken in for repair, refinish, or restocking has to be entered into the bound book.
Do you have doubts to what I just posted and think I pulled this out of the air, call her! You called me out and now I'm calling you out.
Butch
