I have a customer trying to send a gun to a repair company. I’m the middle man sending it and receiving it. I have a store front FFL. The customer wants to pick it up. I assume I’d have to do a 4473, but do I need to do an FA-10 form?

Maybe this MA FFL thing isn’t your thing? Or is it a troll postI have a customer trying to send a gun to a repair company. I’m the middle man sending it and receiving it. I have a store front FFL. The customer wants to pick it up. I assume I’d have to do a 4473, but do I need to do an FA-10 form?
I’m not trolling. We didn’t get the greatest training and we just started.Maybe this MA FFL thing isn’t your thing? Or is it a troll post
Again we didn’t get much training on anything. And we just started. It would really help if someone could answer the question instead of bashing my postIt's concerning that you don't know the answer. I'm not intending to be a jerk, but this seems fundamental...
I’m just trying to get an answer. We didn’t get much of training.Bro....really!?
Understood. I believe the answer is no but I am not a lawyer and wouldn't want to give you inaccurate advice. There are several FFL who could answer more definitively.Again we didn’t get much training on anything. And we just started.

This goes in and out of your books as a repair.I have a customer trying to send a gun to a repair company. I’m the middle man sending it and receiving it. I have a store front FFL. The customer wants to pick it up. I assume I’d have to do a 4473, but do I need to do an FA-10 form?
Yeah it’s hard to find any information. Agencies just throw the law at you instead of training you. I thought I’d find more information in places like this but I was wrong.Understood.

Irrespective of what the answer to this question is, you are operating in a hostile environment in the State of MA. You need to get solid legal/procedural advice in order to do so with minimal legal exposure. Your question suggests that this should be a priority. No one wants to get jammed up for avoidable mistakes.
Honestly in this case I wouldn't be afraid of the state but if they f*** up their operations the feds are going to pull their license. The state of Massachusetts is basically a joke 99.9999% of the time. This is FFL 101 stuff they are asking here, not "special MA cooties land stuff".Understood.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to look I to where to find all the information.This goes in and out of your books as a repair.
No 4473 required.* No FA10s. Where i worked we also had a shipping log with a tracking number recorded.
* = if they replace the frame and the SN changes then obviously it's treated as a new firearm and then a 4473 or a full blown transfer must happen. This is obviously not normal, though.
You guys should do some legwork though and "learn all of the things" otherwise you won't retain that license very long.

The problem is that you want legal advice, from non-lawyers (or lawyers that are not on your payroll).Yeah it’s hard to find any information. Agencies just throw the law at you instead of training you. I thought I’d find more information in places like this but I was wrong.
Believe it or not, ATF will shower you with publications for free. I think it used to be called the orange book. But regardless googling is your friend. Also, I would highly recommend getting into an electronic bound book like fastbound or a POS system like AIM that has self auditing in it. If you commit to monthly self audits, real audits suddenly are not a big deal anymore. Become politely intolerant of bad paperwork; check it twice. No blank spots unless they're one of the few you can skip. Little things like "no middle name" = put NMN in the box. = goes a long way. When someone fills out a 4473, make sure it makes sense; if it doesn't destroy it and have them redo it.Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to look I to where to find all the information.
