Gary Busby has been ordered to report to the federal Bureau of Prisons to start a six and a half year sentence on March 8, 2018. He is 65 years old.
He was convicted of one count of dealing in firearms without a license, and four counts of structuring financial transactions to evade reporting requirements.
The press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas says the firearms charge was for conspiracy to illegally manufacture firearms. The description of the crimes appears to be illegally selling firearms, not manufacturing them.
DALLAS Gary Busby, 65, formerly of Flower Mound, Texas, was sentenced this morning by U.S. District Judge Sam A. Lindsay to 78 months in federal prison for his role in a conspiracy to illegally manufacture firearms that were sent to Mexico, announced U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox of the Northern District of Texas.
Busby was convicted in March 2017, following a two-week jury trial, on one count of conspiracy to manufacture firearms without a license and four counts of structuring financial transactions to evade reporting requirements. Judge Lindsay ordered Busby to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons on March 6, 2018.
It appears that Busby was selling firearms parts at gun shows when he was approached and asked to act as a straw purchaser for Jose Maria Deleon. Deleon, it appears, had contacts with clients in Mexico. Deleon was said to have contacted Busby and arranged for Busby to purchase a receiver for him.
Then Deleon arranged for Busby to assemble receivers into functional firearms. If that is what happened, assembly is not the same

65? At least he’ll Medicare.
It's a good idea to (fillintheblank).
This does not happen in a free Constitutional Republic such as ours. It will be complete when we arrive at the Cashless Society. When no one can buy or sell without informing and implicitly getting permission from the government then all other freedoms are carefully monitored and circumscribed privileges, too.
It’s a Great Idea!
Run!
Good boy! You learned the trick, now here's your doggie treat!
How do you tell if somebody is a federal informant? Hell explore your willingness to violate federal firearms laws.”
Yeah, and what do you really know when you discuss firearms issues “anonymously” with someone here on FR? Do we have BATFE trolls here? This country has degenerated into a quasi-Soviet Union right before our very eyes, and until Donald J. Trump came along most of us thought things were not near so far down the road to a Marxist takeover as we now know to be the case. The very idea that a uselss pr!ck like Schumer would "warn the President of the United States" that he'd better not f*uck with the NSA/CIA/FBI/DOJ, agencies that are supposedly under his control, should be a wakeup call for the whole damned country they our liberty is being taken from us, and it's being done with the wholehearted assistance of our Judiciary. The Democrat Party should rename itself the Communist Party, because that's what it's morphed into.
No, this is about making false statements on the BATF Form 4473. Busby indicated that he was the transferee, when he actually intended to sell the firearms. These U.S. Code articles are clearly written and date back to 1968 or earlier.

Apocryphal, but really old.
So he laundered money by buying federal postal money orders?
Does not make sense, does it? He was sending the money somewhere else, obviously.
Maybe to a confederate, or to a bank outside of the United States?
