§ 478.126a Reporting multiple sales or
other disposition of pistols and revolvers.

(Approved by the Office of Management and
Budget under control number 1140–0032)

Each licensee shall prepare a report
of multiple sales or other disposition
whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of, at one time or during
any five consecutive business days, two
or more pistols, or revolvers, or any
combination of pistols and revolvers
totaling two or more, to an unlicensed
person: Provided, That a report need
not be made where pistols or revolvers,
or any combination thereof, are returned to the same person from whom
they were received. The report shall be
prepared on Form 3310.4, Report of
Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of
Pistols and Revolvers. Not later than
the close of business on the day that
the multiple sale or other disposition
occurs, the licensee shall forward two
copies of Form 3310.4 to the ATF office
specified thereon and one copy to the
State police or to the local law enforcement agency in which the sale or
other disposition took place. Where the
State or local law enforcement officials
have notified the licensee that a particular official has been designated to
receive Forms 3310.4, the licensee shall
forward such forms to that designated
official. The licensee shall retain one
copy of Form 3310.4 and attach it to the
firearms transaction record, Form 4473,
executed upon delivery of the pistols or
revolvers.
