| Would you find more relative value in a revolver that was first purchased at retail prior to 1967, presuming good serviceable condition? That is to say, this has never been papered on a 4473 as it's original retail sale predates that requirement? |
No, because when you buy a used gun the BATFE loses the ability to track it down (4473 or not) unless the seller keeps a record of who you are. Even then, if you move or if they lose that record then the gun is gone again. The only thing that the BATFE can determine is who made the gun, what gun store it went to and then from there who bought it initially. If that person sold it then the gun could be anywhere as far as the BATFE knows. |
