Someone who is licensed to engage in the business of dealing, manufacturing or importing firearms. Individuals must be licensed by the ATF to run a business of firearms. It is somewhat limited in scope, but is very popular as it addresses the most common forms of commercial transactions in the gun world.
Below table represents different types of federal firearms licenses also known as FFL license types. Find out which FFL you should get. The Type 01 FFL is the most common license type. If you are a gunsmith, this is all the license you need. If you want to buy and sell non-NFA firearms, this license will get you started in the gun business. However, the Type 01 FFL also comes with some limitations. But if you accept the limitations of a Class 01 FFL then it will be fine.
Pawnbrokers are licensed differently because they are are allowed to take guns as security on a loan. However, there is no practical difference between an 01 and an 02 FFL, other than the type of business you are engaged in. Get FFL. This is a special FFL for collectors of old guns. There are some exceptions for certain newer guns as well, such as some semi auto military rifles and pistols that are less than 50 years old. The Type 03 FFL is not a license to sell guns, or to acquire guns for resale.
It is only intended to facilitate building a collection of old guns. This means it is only for private, personal use. However, it allows you to purchase eligible guns without additional background checks and paperwork on each gun. Some states with restrictive gun laws may ignore your 03 FFL and still require background checks on certain kinds of guns. Get this FFL if you are a collector of old guns. This is a very specific sort of FFL. It is only for making common small arms ammunition, and nothing else.
If you want to just make ammo, this license is fine. Otherwise, you can get a Class 07 and make both guns and ammo with the same FFL.
Get this FFL if you are only making ammo for resale. It is perfect for people who want to engage in commercial reloading, or want to sell specialty hunting and self defense ammo. With it you can do everything a Type 01 FFL can buy, sell and repair firearms plus manufacture guns and ammo. With the rising popularity of AR-type sporting rifles and the wide availability of parts, many Type 07 FFL holders are choosing to manufacture custom rifles for resale. The Type 08 FFL is for people who want to import most guns and ammo.
Importing guns and ammo can take a lot of time to get ATF and other import paperwork in order, so be sure you have a firm understanding of how this market works before you get involved. Destructive devices are a sort of catchall category for non-sporting guns with a bore over half an inch, grenades, artillery, certain types of semi-auto shotguns, or some kinds of exploding ammo. Most states allow private ownership of destructive devices and their many collectors of rare and unusual exotic weapons.
Military contractors, law enforcement and government agencies also buy destructive devices. This is a very limited sort of FFL, and will really only work for people dealing with government agencies, or handling the import of certain kinds of rare and collectible military arms for museums or wealthy private collectors.

They can produce ammo with a few restrictions.
