OK, I give up. I've had two shotguns returned to me from out-of-state buyers, who were not happy with them. One was returned to my local FFL for convenience because I was out of town at the time. When I returned, I simply picked up MY gun and took it home. No 4473 was filled out, no background check was done. The last one was returned straight to me, at my house(almost buyer was a New York policeman). Again, no 4473 to reclaim my OWN gun. Neither of these two occasions prove anything about the law but if what you say is true, it's actually a rarity among the ATF rules. Most of them are based on logic and make good sense. This one does neither.
