Wow! I just now saw that section.
(Once I get past to the point of, “Transferor (Seller) Continue to Next Page,” I stopped reading.
I did not know that, though. Thank you for the info.
However, the phone conversation between my FFL and the BATFE did not include the information about the firearms I purchased, and they are required to destroy such paperwork after a certain period here in Colorado.
(Which, knowing my FFL guy, he does NOT hesitate to do)
Good to know, what you posted here.
(A little Yoda-speak there)
Other firearms purchasers should ask those kinds of questions about their purchases, too.
Again, thanks, kitchen.
Knowledge is power.
FFL Record Retention Reference Guide from the National Shooting Sports Foundation. It lists the retention period for Form 4473 as 20 years. Any dealer closing their business before the 20 year cycle is supposed to forward the forms to atf.
