Need Advice

Notified by gun shop that once my stamp arrives for my HTA Kestrel, that I will need to fill out a 4473 before taking it home. Is this normally done? I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that once the approval process is completed that is it, and you just pick up the item and take it home. This is under a trust and I'm not sure how to proceed. If it is wrong, then how should I let the owner of the shop know and what steps should they take to confirm this? Any help and suggestions welcomed as I don't want any further delays after 10 months waiting.

Yes it's normal. It's just to document the transfer to you and there will not be a NICs check or any further delays. Just fill out the form and pick up the can.

Pretty much. It's to cover their buts in the event of a special visit from the BATFE.

Thanks for the clarification.

It's not just to cover their butts, the ATF requires it. They will also do a NICS check on you as well. I register my stuff as an individual and have to fill out a 4473 as well, though no NICS check is required because the ATF already background checked me when I filed my paperwork.

They will NOT need to do a NICS check on ANY NFA item, 4473 is the only form that needs filled out
