It happened again yesterday. Customer gets high bid on line for an FN five-seven. WV company sends it to us for the transfer. Customer fills out 4473 and gets delayed by the state until late October. Customer has paid everybody and decides to wait. I recommend he calls state provided number to identify the problem. All this will run 'way past the seller's 3-day period so no return is possible. Sooooo, what happens if he is denied? It is in our books. We cannot return it. We cannot give it to him. We cannot be part of a straw man deal. We won't buy the gun from him because he likely paid too much.
Do you see how transfers are the biggest headache in the gun business?
