I have a class 07 Manufacturers license. I first had to get a master business license, then a city business license. Then I filled out the form from the ATF (in quadruplicate) but I made the mistake of actually thinking the Chief LEO had to sign it and got it lost at the Seattle police HQ. So I ordered another form filled it out (in quadruplicate) and just sent a copy to the chief LEO and the rest to the Feds. After a couple months I got a call from the ATF to set up an appointment for my interview and inspection. After another month or so I got the inspection. There were several other forms that got filled out then. Another month or so and I got my license. Then I had to go to the Seattle police HQ and fill out the form for a dealers license for WA. Got that a few days later. Total process started in March and I was ready to do business in September. Of course before that was a gunsmith course I took from AGI that took me several months to complete.
