In the samples of the Quick Reference and Best Practice Guide, this is about the only thing I do not see.

I have a rifle that I would like to sell.  I just got my FFL and I'd like to sell it through my business.  

I am a sole prop with the "Name" on my FFL being the name of my business.

I would guess since my name isn't on my FFL, I would treat it just like I took the gun in on consignment from someone else and put my name and address as from who I received the rifle.

Does that sound correct?

You treat it as any other firearm you transfer in or out.
As a sole proprietor, YOU are the licensee vs a corporation or LLC being the licensee.

You enter it as an acquisition from "Benny429 personal collection", then the disposition to your customer.

I keep two log books.  One for the business and one for my personal collection.



If I were to move an item from one to the other, I just log it.



For example, from my private collection, it get's disposed from myself to the business.  From the business, I fill out a 4473 and call my state for the NICS check and then transfer it to myself.  I then log it into my personal book.  The ATF doesn't look at your personal log book, just your business.  I do this for record keeping.

Complying with ATF regulations regarding A&D has nothing to do with how your state determines when a sale occurs or when it becomes taxable.

however, I think you are opening yourself up to a tax evasion charge if your FFL is a "total seperate business"  ie... LLC or LLP. ETA:  Sole proprietor FFL you didn't buy it, you transfered it to your personal collection

That's what I am thinking also.

Uh............a sole proprietor transferring a firearm from business ------> personal collection means it is not for resale.......you pay sales tax. Sales tax is collected at the time of sale, or if removed from business inventory.
