I didn't think black powder needed a 4473?

A black powder pistol is not a "firearm" per federal law, and should not be on a 4473.

The place where I work, which shall remain nameless, told us a few weeks ago to "start" a 4473 but they would not call NICS. I sold a BP pistol today and when I took the form to our guy that calls NICS I was told we didn't do that anymore. At that time the 4473 only had a name and a phone #. Would it still need to be retained?

Is there an NTN on it?
ETA: Never mind, just saw that NICS was never called so obviously there's no NTN. I'd shred it. |

While it might not be needed I would personally keep it. I'd rather have too much paperwork than not enough.

I agree with the poster above that it does not sound like a good idea, if indeed your employer is using that personal way to track sales. Seems like that could lead to trouble but I am not an FFL, so what do I know?
Most of your customers might not know the difference, but If someone tried to make me fill out a 4473 on a black powder pistol I'd probably walk out the door as a protest to the ignorance. Good grief man, you can mail order the damn things straight to your house. |

The policy was only in effect for a couple of weeks but it did cost some BP sales. Thanks for the input.
