This would be my concern. If I take...say...an ak receiver to a chrome or specialty paint shop, it's not like they're changing anything about the receiver mechanically. Now if I took them the whole rifle and they had to take it apart, refinish it, and reassemble it back into a safe, functioning weapon, I guess I could see a small point. But it sounds like this rule would even cover someone who taped off the bolt and bore and shot a rattle can camo job on someone else's hunting rifle for a few bucks. That would seem a bit too far fetched to believe if it weren't already the land of 'fatherland security'.
This sounds like another way to 'register' people who have anything to do with firearms and make some extra tax money in the process.
