Written by

Just a heads up to firearms purchasers that the ATF announced on the 14th that they have revised ATF 4473. For those who are not frequent buyers, it is the Federal used for all firearms purchases through a dealer.
Here is the current one: https://www.atf.gov/file/61446/download

Here is a very detailed description of the changes: http://orchidadvisors.com/atf-form-4473-firearms-transaction-record-form-4473-revised/?utm_campaign=Industry+Alerts&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=37660754&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9aI2FjityVgUS4XcDEvoxR6G8UguI-zGPOduOMd7ITBVqLzwt85dSwevRKX6z74MrJXvXBlrRnhgt2hfG9x7q7efGFoA&_hsmi=37660754

 

To be honest, I only skimmed the article but I did not seeing anything dramatically huge, and it actually clarifies some issues. However, it is definitely something to be aware of for those that may be tempted to skim through the form.
