4473 for an individual

[Lineman]

Make this short before i journey up north.

Anyone ever been asked to do a 4473 by an individual? Any reason why or why not?
I have never or been asked so by a non FFL.

I've had individuals ask me to do deals through an ffl. Individuals alone can't do that.

An individual can't require you to fill out a 4473. I suppose they could, but they couldn't do anything with it if they had one and your completed it...aside from maybe steal your identity.

I've been asked to complete a bill of sale as part of a private sale, but not an actual 4473. Most FFLs will assist with completing them as part of a private sale if both parties agree to go that route.

No reason why to do so, unless one party believes the other might be shady and so wants to add a layer of “security” by going through the FFL. In such a case, I’d decline to do the deal - but then again, I won’t do any deal with an individual if he/she required a transfer where it wasn’t needed. Same with a bill of sale, signed or not, or copying my DL info.

I have asked someone to do one, and they did it and it took 30 minutes but it was approved

Yeah they can, or they don’t sell you the gun. I only did It once with “new to the site” person here at OSA , wasn’t established here do I said I’d only do it if it were transferred at an FFL and he agreeed.

I said an individual...so did the OP and he specified "non FFL".

Funny you posted this, because I’m trying to buy a high end rifle from a guy 5 hours away and was going to drive down today to do the deal. He sprung it on me last night that he wanted to meet at a gun store, so I could do a 4473 on the rifle. I told him if I was doing a 4473 I’d pay shipping to a local dealer and save myself 10 hours driving and probably $200 in fuel. I haven’t heard back from him yet.
