I talked to the central district firearms office, and the (actually quite pleasant firearms enthusiast) on the other end told me that yes, I can make as many as I want for a hobby. I can make for others, but I would have to ‘gift’ them. Any exchange of money = dealers licence.
It’s a tough one, as I’d love to keep the art form alive but I’m not altruistic enough to give away 150 hours of my toil for nothing. I’m contemplating running a workshop tuition series to show others how it’s done.
