Thank you everyone for the informative responses. I am currently awaiting replies from 3 insurance companies, and the BATFE. From the FAQ section of the BATFE website:
Quote:
Q: Is a license needed to engage in the business of engraving, customizing, refinishing or repairing firearms?
Yes. A person conducting such activities as a business is considered to be a gunsmith within the definition of a dealer. [27 CFR 478.11]

I will not be performing any of this until I get an FFL, but disassembly/reassembly hasn't been mentioned yet in 27 CFR. I haven't finished reading it yet though. I'll have to look into the getting bonded issue too apparently.
So from the looks of it, some of you would find this service useful. This is just for part-time supplemental income for the time being until I get set-up as a gunsmith which could take a couple years (mills & lathes are expensive!). Thanks again everyone.
ETA: Thanks Buffalobob for the contact.
