Waaaaaay back in early 2007 I was going to become a niche producer of AR-15s. I was going to incorporate under "Laconic Arms".
I was going to do custom order builds for people who didn't want to build them themselves and/or offer configurations that the larger places weren't offering (like retro builds).
Why didn't I?
You need to be some form of FFL.
If I was offering complete guns branded with my imprint I would have to be a manufacturer or a Type 7 FFL.
If I was just putting them together on the customer supplied lower I would need a Type 1 FFL.
To get either kind of FFL you need a chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) sign-off (BATFE requires compliance with local laws and ordinances). To get that where I live, I need to have a place zoned for commercial or business use. I can't start-up out of my garage which is zoned mixed ag/residential.
Until I am established, I can't afford to rent a commercial property.
Catch 22.
