Advanced Manufacturing Workflow for Type 07 FFLs
Type 07 FFL user’s of Gun StoreMaster™ PRO receive an additional module designed to seamlessly document the assembly and manufacturing process in your bound book records, included at no additional charge! Spend more time focusing on building the firearms your customers are asking for, and less time worrying that your bound book is in order.
Our assembly manufacturing process is a multi stage bound book recording process which helps make visual and logical sense of the assembly manufacturing process. This process is used if you are taking an existing firearm item, typically in the form of a receiver or frame that is current in your bound book, and assembling it into another type of fully functioning firearm.
Assembly: How it works
1. Your firearm starts its life by being acquired into your Gun StoreMaster™ eSAFE™ bound book.
2. When you intend to start assembling the firearm, use the move to manufacturing function. You can move a single firearm record, or a batch of records together. This will record a disposition for your original record, and acquire a new record that is used as the marker during the time you are assembling the firearm. In this stage, it is not considered completed, but in process. This state is considered “In Manufacturing”
3. Once you have completed the assembly of the new firearm(s), you use the move a manufactured item process to add the new details regarding the firearm(s) you have assembled. This step will record a disposition for the second record, or the “In Manufacturing” record, and acquire a 3rd and final record for the completed firearm to indicate in your bound book that the manufacturing process for the assembled firearm(s) is completed, and update with the details of the changes. This process can be done with a single firearm, or a batch of firearms with shared attributes.
3. Once you have completed the physical assembly of the new firearm(s), use the move a manufactured item process to add the new details regarding the firearm(s) you have assembled. This step will record a disposition for the second record, or the “In Manufacturing” record, and acquire a 3rd and final record for the completed firearm to indicate in your bound book that the manufacturing process for the assembled firearm is completed, and update with the details of the changes.
Direct into MFG: Creating Serial Numbers
The ‘Direct into MFG’ feature is designed for manufacturers that are creating their own serial numbers that are being applied to firearms they are manufacturing.
1. Your firearm starts its life by being acquired into your Gun StoreMaster™ eSAFE™ bound book by using the ‘Direct into MFG’ feature. This can be done as a single firearm, or batch of firearms with identical attributes.
2. These serial numbers have now been created in your bound book record.
3. To finish the process and mark these serial numbers as manufactured, use the move a manufactured item process to add the new details regarding the firearm(s) you have assembled. This step will record a disposition for the second record, or the “In Manufacturing” record, and acquire a 3rd and final record for the completed firearm to indicate in your bound book that the manufacturing process for the assembled firearm(s) is completed, and update with the details of the changes. This process can be done with a single firearm, or a batch of firearms with shared attributes. Our batch manufacturing module is the easiest way to manufacture large volumes of firearms within your A&D records.
ATF AMFER Report
