I don't know too many full time gunsmiths that would be put out of business by a $2,250 fee. That's just a $1/hour increase or so in hourly work, and that's if they are a 1 man shop. You really going to stop using your favorite gunsmith if they tack on a $1 or $1.50 per hour increase?
What this seems to directly attack is non-gunsmiths since it specifically says that even ONE instance puts you in violation of the law. Finish one 80% lower, d&t one receiver, put on a different stock to increase accuracy, heck.. bedding may count since that's intended to increase accuracy.
And whether you export or not doesn't matter according to that article.
Seriously unenforceable... but seriously bad if the points in the article are true.
It's not about the $2,200.00, and it's VERY enforceable if ATF is including it in their inspections; and they will be. Some ATF agents have already been enforcing ITAR (none of this is actually new BTW), and some haven't. We've been fighting this for at least 2 years now.
