Figured there would be some 03's and other FFLs in here.

All those that have 03 FFLs beware that in ATF Receiver Propose is the requirement for COLLECTORS to maintain their A&D books from 20 yrs (changed in 2016) to INDEFINENT! This is located near the end under record keeping.

6. Record Retention
Currently, licensees other than manufacturers and importers do not have to store their ATF Forms 4473 or A&D records beyond 20 years. This proposed rule would require licensed dealers and collectors to store their Forms 4473 or A&D records indefinitely. The industry cost for this section would be minimal because FFLs could drop off their overflow records to ATF or have ATF ship them directly. The government cost for this provision is $68,939 annually. For more details, please refer to Chapter 7 of the Regulatory Impact Analysis.


Please commit that the current rule is long enough. We don't need to hold our books when we're in nursing/old soldiers home.


This may or may not apply to 03 FFLs as it is unclear who the licenses are.

3. Recordkeeping for Privately Made Firearms
Minor changes to the above regulations regarding recordkeeping by licensees would also be needed to account for any voluntary receipts or other acquisitions (including from a personal collection) of privately made firearms, and corresponding dispositions (including to a personal collection).

ATF 2021R-05 is the name of the proposed ruling.
