Legally any gunsmith taking in someones firearm for work needs to have an 01 FFL by federal guidelines. And possibly state licensing depending on individual state laws. So, such a scenario should not exist. Unless of course the smith is not operating their business properly. But I suppose it is no different than “collectors” who regularly sell more guns than some dealers. It happens.
