The gun in question arrived today and my FFL claimed that he had to do a transfer if it was entered in the sellers books. After a bit of discussion where I quoted some of the replies here, he called the ATF field office and was told to enter it in his book as an Antique, but no transfer was necessary.

Many thanks to all.

A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
