wrong silencer questions?

[elephant]

Last September I purchased a Surefire 762 for a 300blk. When I got it this week, I noticed it was a surefire for a 556, im not really upset but I already own a Saker 556 and really wanted a silencer for my 300blk. My recipt says Surefire 762, but I guess he got the wrong one out of the back when filling out the paperwork. Long story short, I cant simply exchange the surefire for the 762 because of the paperwork, I would have to submit a new form with $200 and wait it out. I cant return the silencer because it is classified as a used item. Which leaves me this question. I don't really want the 556, what are my options? Can I go direct to Surefire to exchange? Or have them use my serial number on a new 762 silencer? Like I said, im not really upset, it was an error either with the dealer or me, but bummed because I wanted a suppressed 300blk.

Sell it locally to someone on a Form 4 and start over. The error was on both parts as BOTH of you should have reviewed the paperwork before it was signed and paid for.

Surefire can't exchange it, and even if they would, it still follows the same rules.

Yep...if you'd noticed it at the dealer, even after it was approved, but before you filled out the 4473...you could've gotten your $200 back.

You're going to need to try to sell it local...as an out-of-state sale will result in $400 worth of stamps, which unless you're selling it for pennies on the dollar will make it an unwanted item.

Well, if the receipt says 7.62 and that was the mutual understanding, I would sure ask the dealer to cover the mistake by selling you a new can at a steep discount or have them cover the $200 stamp for a new correct can.

Due diligence is on both parties.

The buyer wanted 7.62, the seller agreed, the buyer paid his cash, and the seller is the professional who is supposed to have his shit wired tight and probably prepared the form 4 in error. I simply think the seller should make he buyer whole or compensate him for the mistake. You may think its chickenshit but I bet the buyer would win in small claims court.

Good thing you didn't figure that out with a test fire from your 300 BLK...

I understand due diligence. The dealer caught it when I was there picking it up. We were both scratching our heads. They told me they would sell me a new one at dealer cost which was around $850. I just didn't want to wait another 5-8 months.

Well as BW said, you could have canceled the transfer right then and there and gotten your $200 back. The instructions to do so are right on the form itself, no need to scratch your heads. But now that you knowingly took delivery, your option is to sell it privately in-state for only 1 tax.

Who was this douchebag dealer?

Due diligence is on both parties.

One party in this transaction was a licensed professional making a profit, the other was a customer relying on said professional. In civil court (as it should in the real world), that would assign the majority responsibility to the dealer. I'd say 70-80%?

Regardless, the deed is done. My question would be whether the Form 4 has an incorrect description of the registered item? If so, something has to be corrected, or no one will be able to resell it. Either way, the dealer should be responsible for contacting BATFE and ascertaining what needs to be done. I doubt they'd be willing to correct the serial number to one corresponding to the suppressor that should've been grabbed from the back, but if you spoke to the right person, in the right way, backed up with the Form 4 saying it should be a 7.62, who knows?

Either way, the dealer needs to help fix things. Sounds to me like he wants to at least do something, which is good.
