Joy...
At the OKC show today and stopped by the Rijas table. Girl said they manufacture all their weapons. Saw a 308 AR style rifle with an Armalite lower. An older gentleman (I think the owner) guaranteed the gun would shoot 1/2 MOA at 1,000 yards. Told me it would outshoot my Larue OBR. Didn't notice the color of his eyes but they better be brown. He was full of it.

I think they are licensed as a manufacturing FFL, are they not? So.... technically, that part might be true.
To be considered a manufacturer do you need to actually manufacturer something in house? Or is assembler and manufacturer one in the same within the gun industry or more specifically the AR platform?
There is no such thing as an "assemblers license", so those who buy AR lowers and other parts and assemble complete weapons for sale have to have the same type of manufacturing license as a legitimate manufacturer such as Colt.
ATF views any weapon where an FFL does as little as pinning the upper to the lower as a manufacturer. That weapon now has to be entered into the FFL's manufacture book with that FFL as the manufacturer, and have the new the FFL's name, city and state engraved on the firearms. It must be no less than 1/16" in height and no less than 0.003" deep. Most of the time laser engraving does not get that deep. A 'FFL 07 (manufacturer)' can manufacture 49 firearms a year and not have to pay an excise tax, when he hits 50 he has to pay that tax on all 50 and over. Hope this clarifies questions in this matter. This information should be no mystery to FFLs, because it is in the ATF FFL book that all FFL's should have.
Good information Mark.
My major point was 1/2 MOA at 1000 yards. I don't believe there is a rifle in existence that is that accurate. Certainly not a semi. I have a 20" LWRC R.E.P.R.that can't pull that off. The man was full of s--t. A f---ing bolt gun will not group that well. 1/2 MOA at 100 yards is damn fine accuracy.
