I ordered a pistol from a manufacturer. I sent them a copy of my FFL's license. Paid for the gun, it was shipped, arrived at my FFL's shop. I go to pick it up, fill out the paperwork, everything is peachy. I open the box to examine the pistol, it looks good etc... My FFL then begins looking through the paperwork that came with it for a copy of the manufacturers FFL. There is not one. There is manual, invoice, etc... no copy of their FFL.
My FFL advises he cannot complete the transfer to me until he receives a copy of their FFL.
I don't know what the rules are. I have absolutely know reason to believe my dealer would make it up. I have no reason to believe the mfg intentionally is trying to slow things down.
What is required? Is my FFL right? Or is that FFL copy from the mfg not required to be sent to him?
I am not really happy about this obviously, I had nice plans to shoot a new toy this weekend. I am not about to get crossways with either side, I know the barbara streisand that is required to get an FFL and am not going to put anyone at risk.
I would appreciate another FFL here educating me. If it isn't required and there is something I can show my FFL to put his mind at ease, I still may be able to pick it up tomorrow (Sat). If not, he is closed Monday, so its Tuesday, lather rinse repeat.
Thanks for any help.
