Can a registered .50 BMG rifle be taken to a gunsmith for repairs?
Yes. However, a .50 BMG rifle can only be left with a gunsmith who holds a .50 BMG Rifle Permit. Otherwise, the owner must remain with the firearm while it is being repaired. If the .50 BMG rifle must be shipped to the manufacturer for repairs, a firearms dealer with a .50 BMG Rifle Permit must handle the shipping.
