Opening gunshop
Hello all, I'm planning on opening a gunshop within the next year and I was wondering if anyone had any pointers or heads up for me, I just recently completed schooling in gunsmithing and just now wrapping my head around everything. Thanks for the input, much appreciated

Welcome aboard!
With the current panic buying, my only tip would be get you stock order in ASAP because you are going to find a lot of items are back ordered for months now.

Yeah what he ^^^^ said. Supplies are limited right now so your bread and butter to begin will be your smith work. Good luck.

Then make sure you get your manufacturing 07 FFL if you're going to build ARs for resale.

Make sure zoning is okay that's the biggest thing that stops most people. If you have any question you can always PM me. I got my 01 in July of last year, so the process is still pretty fresh to me.
