If I can help with any questions, PM me. Or call me mornings at 978-486-8975. Jack.I figured as much. Basically I’m looking for an off-site business/storage location. Commercial space exists here and is generally cheap but was hoping there was some sort of community already.
Maybe I’ll check out some of the mill buildings in Nashua.

What you will need, more important than anything else, is the "right" kind of landlord. However, in NH, that's easier to find than down here. Jack.Don’t forget zoning. That will dictate where you should look.
OP, I've been looking around for the same sort of thing. I have a storage unit and I was hoping to find space that could double as that and a location for an FFL, but I'm cheap and what I'm finding is either too high $$$ or too high (not first floor) in old mills that don't have working elevators. I do see the occasional space in really bad areas, but that doesn't work for me. Might be something that can be split 50/50?
He probably wants an 07 because non rape machine guns....There's not much reason for it in NH.
With that and the SOT he can have, make and do whatever he wants. Jack.He probably wants an 07 because non rape machine guns....

True, but pre samples and fully transferrable still cost the same. The post samples are (relatively) cheap, but you're effectively just renting them for so long as you continue to pay the annual SOT.Cheap compared to a post-86 anything, these days. It's a less insane way to have a stable of MGs vs time.
ETA: Obviously not the entirety of expenses, but you get the idea... when an M4 RDIAS goes for 30 grand it makes an 07 look pretty appealing.

500$ a year for most instances. Which depending on the dinner you had is a candlelit dinner.The $1,000/yr SOT isn't exactly a candlelit dinner and soft whispers.
Or maybe less than $500k per yr. No coffee yet this AM. Jack.500$ a year for most instances. Which depending on the dinner you had is a candlelit dinner.
Thing there was a reloader in there as well?Waumbec Weaponry is (was?) operating out of the former Waumbeck Mill on Commerical St. in Manchester, NH. He had a tiny office, and just uses it to do transfers. I'm sure that the rent is NOT cheap, since it's owned by Brady-Sullivan. I find it funny since so many of the other business right beside him are probably liberal dreams (dance studios, music studio, artsy-craftsy places).
In my experience looking at commercial space around Nashua & Manchester, that's been the common theme -- the cheap mill building space is always upstairs. The non-profit I help out ended up in a building with a red-tagged freight elevatorI'm cheap and what I'm finding is either too high $$$ or too high (not first floor) in old mills that don't have working elevators
Anyplace zoned for commercial/retail/industrial should work, under RSA 159:26, towns are limited to "adopt(ing) zoning ordinances for the purpose of regulating firearms or knives businesses in the same manner as other businesses", can't make special rules just for gun manufacturers.Don’t forget zoning. That will dictate where you should look.
So if you were only doing transfers, plus manufacturing and sales to other FFLs, you wouldn't need the town permit. Since it only pertains to "sell at retail", right?In my experience looking at commercial space around Nashua & Manchester, that's been the common theme -- the cheap mill building space is always upstairs.

The only remaining hurdle in state law would be RSA 159:8, a town-issued license "to sell at retail pistols and revolvers".
There's only been one test case, and "at retail" came up in the deliberation.So if you were only doing transfers, plus manufacturing and sales to other FFLs, you wouldn't need the town permit. Since it only pertains to "sell at retail", right?
That would be interesting since you need to already have the FFL to apply for the retail license. And who says you need to get an 03 retail FFL? Just get the 07There's only been one test case, and "at retail" came up in the deliberation.
Anybody know if ATF insists applicants comply with state law 159:8 before they will issue a retail FFL to a NH-based entity?
ATF just cops out and says that you need to comply with all state and local laws. Once you have the FFL, just show it to the PD and get the retail license. Renew it each time you renew the FFL. Simple. Jack.There's only been one test case, and "at retail" came up in the deliberation.

I was referring to NH v Geddes (2004)No. 04-S-104.:Can anyone give this test case?
ROBERT J. LYNN - Chief Justice said:Because the indictment in this case contains no allegation that the defendant was engaged in the business of selling pistols or revolvers at retail, and thus was required to be licensed under RSA 159, it fails to allege all the necessary elements of a violation of RSA 159:10. See State v. Therrien, 129 N.H. 765, 770 (1987) (indictment must allege all the elements of an offense). Accordingly, the defendant’s motion to dismiss is hereby granted.
It's so stupid simple. Just do it. Jack.I was referring to NH v Geddes (2004)No. 04-S-104.:
