Supposedly Jan 17. Should have had a 50 count by late December, getting pretty late, then I see they haven't been printed yet.

Important Notice to All Federal Firearms Licensees

ATF Form 4473, Firearms Transaction Record (Form 4473) has been revised. This page highlights the significant changes to the form. It is highly suggested that you review the entire revised form including all of the Notices, Instructions, and Definitions.

All Federal firearms licensees (FFLs) must begin using this form on January 16, 2017.  After that date, you may no longer use the previous edition (April 2012) of the Form 4473 as it will be obsolete. Please note; the revised form is not currently available for either download or ordering.  Once the form is available, a notice will be posted on the website.
 
This is our Govt. at work right.?

EZ Breezy Gun Ban:   Just don't print any Form 4473 forms.

And disallow use of the current forms.

And there you have it.

Done.

So clever, a conservative coulda thought it up.

I have not gotten any yet, however, there are reports on an industry web forum that they are shipping the new forms.  Either way, I will use the old form till Jan 16th :P

Thanks for the notice Rod. At least we know that's not part of the gun control scheme. Ha Ha
Happy New Year to all the NFOA members.

I wonder what order they are using to send out the forms, alphabetical, numerical or something else.

Wonder what the total number of forms that will be automatically sent out, must be in the hundreds of thousands, with every 01, 02 ( I think an 02 is pawnbroker ) , 07 and possibly others.
