Does anyone on here have an 80% Lower Jig that they are willing to lend out or rent?

Also interested in this... would love to be able to rent one for someone for a day..
I would think renting could potentially run afoul of the laws. Gratuitous loan would be fine.
There is absolutely no legal issue with renting an 80% lower jig. It's a hunk of aluminum and steel. All the work to actually mill out the lower must be done manually. Come on, people. Stop making life easier for gun grabbers.
What if you were to sell your jig for say $25 and buy it back 'used' for say $10? Asking for a friend.
I’m still not sure it’s illegal unless you are a business. Only a business that manufactures firearms must be licensed and serialize the firearms and the determination says “businesses” that rent or allow access to equipment they own or control. I’m an individual with a personal jig, a cross slide vise and a drill press. I’m not required to be licensed nor am I required to serialze any firearm I manufacturer for my own use and ownership. Where does it say that an individual can’t rent out or allow access to tools or equipment they own whether or not that equipment will be used to make personal firearms as long as the person is doing all of the work themselves? I believe this is BGOS.
It may be BGOS. Do you trust .gov? If you are renting something out, they can argue you are doing business. I think gratuitous loans are still fine.
No, I wouldn’t trust .gov on much of anything. Would still argue hobby vs. business on the making money off of it if they tried that route (I believe the IRS has good definitions on that). But, I do see your point.
I also learned long ago not to loan out tools and wouldn’t rent them out either. Just opining on the legality. IANAL and don’t recall ever staying at a Holiday Inn Express either.
Do you have the "resources" to find out??? Honestly it's not worth
the problems or $$$$ and to be on the "radar" I understand
everyones point, if it wasn't a problem or issue you sure would
see a lot of it.
it you "rent" and if you think like they think you are getting $$$
next question would be how long has it been going on? you are
providing a service, look not a lawyer but why do it, I'm sure
there are plenty that have all kind of jigs, 80%, welding, bending,
etc. even all the HK jigs, could make a ton of money...
I understand what you are saying..also
