As I was looking into piecing together my next rifle, I just learned about something called an Excise Tax. I always found it odd that I could go to a gunsmith's website, pick out the stock, barrel, action, trigger, etc, as well as his advertised rates to chamber, bed, etc, and always come up a couple to several hundred dollars cheaper than his 'ready to ship rifles'. Evidently this is due to the Excise Tax.
My question becomes, at what point do they have to charge that? If I send all the parts for him to assemble, do I have the pay the 10-11% tax?
