Notice to All Federal Firearms Licensees Regarding ATF Form 4473 Shortage

As a result of an unprecedented increase in demand for ATF Forms 4473 (5300.9) Part I Revised August 2008, inventory of the form at the ATF Distribution Center is running low.

As a temporary measure, ATF is allowing FFLs to photocopy the form 4473 in it’s entirety until they receive their orders from the ATF Distribution Center.

A notice will be posted at the expiration of this temporary authorized change.

Benevolent gods, aren't they?

I suppose that if you don't see the revision when it come out, they'll use it as a reason to yank your license.

It looks like you can download the form at the forms section of www.atf.gov.

I don't know if it's still the case but they used to cite dealers for allowing people to abbreviate state names on the form.

ATF needs to be abolished.

Form 4473? Does that mean the ATF has 4472 other forms or more?

I won’t do anything on a 4473 anymore. Only private purchases for me.
