Of course, this topic and the writing of the guidelines can be debated and interpreted until the end of time, however...

The ITAR guidelines cover Domestic gunsmithing activities related to Firearms deemed to be "Significant Military Equipment".

Of course, the definition of "Significant Military Equipment" is not really spelled all that clear, but that does not sound like any firearm for personal use by civilians.

This sounds very similar to the tizzy that was put up over the definition of "Engaged in business" and needing an FFL or not. All these people reading it as if they needed an FFL to be able to buy or sell anything for their personal collections. Not the case.
