It could be simply a store policy to enter everything into the book. I was told it was Colorado law that all firearms are required to have a serial number to transfer. There are many shotguns manufactured without serial numbers. My Stevens double certainty doesn’t have one.
We enter everything DEEMED post 1898 in the book and if no number it goes in as “NVSN” . We get audited by an ATF person now it seems yearly and they’re fine with “NVSN” . Now that’s Federal , we’re in Virginia and you’re in Colorado so I would assume that’s a state thing .
