AMFER is a report submitted by licensed manufacturers to ATFE once a year. It shows how many of each "type" were made that year.So is AMFER a fed log book you must keep or a form copy you send in to the BATF?

Those went the way of the Dodo bird. I don't recall ever seeing one around today.My sure you use a pay phone to call ATFE.
When I buy such a receiver, it's logged in as a "receiver", then when completed, logged out as a "rifle" (could be as a pistol, though) to the customer.
Yes, I just downloaded it. When I pick this up, and they do the 4473, can I instruct them to put "receiver" in box 6? The seller remembers "pistol" in that box when he bought it under same form. It was not a pistol at that time, as issued from Savage was a complete receiver assy'.Now the new forms from ATF has a spot to mark for long gun ( rifle or shotgun ) , pistol and other ( frame ,receiver, etc. ) rifle 16.5 barrel length pistol 15.5 under. As of Nov. 1, 2020.
Not yet. We start the check transaction, mailing to FFL on Monday.Did you already fill out the 4473? Bgc form.
Bob, I deal with this all the time. As with an AR lower, it's neither a pistol or rifle until made into such. It is just an action, and as such you identify it as such in the form 4473, marked as such in Question 24: handgun, long gun (rifle/shotgun) or Other Firearm (Frame, Reciever, Etc.). It is neutral: neither a handgun nor long gun until you make it such.Buying a nib Savage action complete as a component assembly. Neither a rifle nor a pistol. I am building a pistol. Is it in need of a BATFE form to declare it a pistol?
For you gunsmiths dealing with this jungle of regs, what do you think?
If the previous owner remembers it as "pistol" in the "type" (box #4),Bob, I deal with this all the time. As with an AR lower, it's neither a pistol or rifle until made into such. It is just an action, and as such you identify it as such in the form 4473, marked as such in Question 24: handgun, long gun (rifle/shotgun) or Other Firearm (Frame, Reciever, Etc.).
