Default OT; sending a gun for repair

I'm sending a complete double gun action with stock in place to a guy for some repair; no barrels. Does it need to go to an FFL holder, and will it need to go to an FFL when it comes back? Thanks...

Legitimate repair, out and back, no need for FFL. Sale=FFL. I can't quote the statute, but I believe this to be the law, and have relied on it for many years of repairs.

Does this assume that the repair is done by a federally licensed gunsmith? In the past, all my repair jobs were sent to a FFL holder and when it was done, it was returned directly to me. But I suspect that you can't send one of your guns to me, in the same way, for me to fix something (not that I could) because I don't hold a license.

If the recipient is an FFL, which any legit gunsmith should be, then you are good. And gunsmithing repair guidlines allow the repairing smith to return the gun to the same person that they received it from.

If your repair man is not an ffl, then it SHOULD go through one.

If, on the other hand, the gun is considered an "antique" (and there are specific definitions of "antique" in reference to guns) then it does not need to go to a FFL either for sale or for repair.
