No, i just stumbled across it, but thanks for clarifying, thats why i asked.... i dont see it for normal guns on that page now that i looked a little harder... wish i could get an automatic though :(

I was just wondering b/c the original of form 4473 is submitted the atf, but what happens to it after that? is everybody recorded? is there a similar registration of serial numbers to owners as title 2 firearms? seems as though such an action would be violating at least a right to privacy. and in recent news it irks me that we have that gunrunner debacle going on...im more worried about the atf keeping track of guns than my fellow normal citizens :/

Not quite. The 4473 is kept by the dealer until s/he shuts down their business. Then all the 4473's they have accumulated get shipped to the BATFE. They are supposed to warehouse them, but I'm not certain that is what actually happens. Hopefully, someone else can offer up additional info.

Its not ignorance of the law, im very well aware of the laws regarding NFA items, ive spent quite a bit of time looking at them believe it or not. I was merely referring to cost. i cannot afford to spend 10-20K to get an automatic receiver that i would want.

i should have said "i wish i could afford an automatic though" i am also aware that while i reside in WA at college it would actually be illegal, felonious i believe, to own an automatic firearm. however it wold be perfectly legal in my home state of idaho, naturally, provied i followed the atf regulations :cry:
