And if so, since when? Didn't the Brady Bill only require it for Handguns?


Are you dealing with a FFL? Then anything needs a 4473.

It's not me. I saw an FFL who's offering a rifle for sale and said a background check is required...

I know a 4473 has to be filled out for ALL firearm purchased but I thought only handguns were subject to background checks?

A 4473 isn't an automatic background check, right?

Gotta excuse my ignorance on this. I've only ever purchased 1 gun in my life, a pistol. I went through an FFL and obviously had to do the check.

I always thought rifles were exempt?
