ATF running out of paper
Published: January 8th, 2009
Ed reports that the ATF are running out of Form 4473 (NCIS background check) due to demand. Heh.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

That is truly priceless. I guess Obama is good for the economy!!
There must also be a limitation on the number of 7CR/5310.16s that ATF will distribute at anyone time, as, well.
I recently order a multiplicity (10s of forms) of 7CR/5310.16 (Application for License Collector) and only received qty: 2 (two) back, with an explanation in the Special Notes section from the ATF Distribution Center, as follows:
ORDER REDUCED DUE TO BATF&E HDQTRS GUIDELINES
I saw a recent blog posting saying that ATF was backorder on these forms and people were receiving backorder responses. Does any one know if this reflects any recent change...
