Thinking about selling some reloads small scale to help pay for my gun habits.

Anyone have a link to explain the reload selling laws in Oklahoma? I know you at least need a Ffl on a federal level, but I've seen stories that Oklahoma passed a law excepting from federal laws as long as you stamp it made in Oklahoma and only sell in Oklahoma.

Anyone provide some insight? Thanks.

Even assuming this is true, I never like when states pass laws that say Federal law doesn't apply. It reminds me of kids saying "yeah dad I know you said 'no' but mom said it was OK."

E: Also you'd probably want to factor in things like liability insurance, on the off chance one of your rounds blows up somebody's gun.
 
Ii apologize. I misread... It was proposed once (HB 1621) but it didn't get the votes. They've put another one up for the 2015.

So a ffl6 and insurance is all you need? I'm assuming the whole TTB thing allies as well.
 
Federal Law requires either an 06 or 07 FFL. Then you will want insurance as was stated before to cover you for any screw ups on your part.
 
To get your FFL you either need to locate your shop in an industrial area or someplace out of city limits that is unzoned. You can't be a commercial reloader out of your attached garage.

Plan on a bunker for your powder and primers.

Plan on keeping great records and sending the ATF 11% of your gross sales every quarter as excise tax.

Insurance is very expensive.

That just means you have common sense. My 96 Accord has 325K. I spend less on it in a year than most people spend on 1-2 car payments. More money for bullets.


I agree with Mike though. I looked at building hand-made holsters and selling them, but for the time investment it would make a lot more sense for me to stay late at work and fix a couple of extra cars every night. Running any business small-scale means you're running razor thin margins if you're trying to compete with the prices of companies that can produce the same product assembly-line style.
