George, I would say in these situations you have to recognize that "reality bites" (e.g., non communication after multiple attempts) and go into hardball mode. I would report the gun as stolen to the BATFE, who will in turn enter it on the NCIS list. Before they do that, they will scan their FFL log entries; if that gun is recorded under an active FFL, I can assure you things will warm up quickly.
