3 day inspection/transfer

[Bob Jurewicz]

I believe I have to disagree with many here that the 3 day inspection terminates upon 4473 approval and transfer. How many here go to pick up their new treasure equipped with: chamber guage, bore micrometer and wall thickness guage? I don't! I do a visual inspection. If all appears fine I complete the transfer process. When I get home with the gun I perform all of the usual evaluations requiring special efquipment. If I find a major fault I fully expect the seller to honor return privilage if I am within the 3 day period and due so notify.

I completely agree with Bob!

[Larry the Gun Guy]

I agree with Bob J. the 4473 is a form required by the government and has nothing to do with the inspection and approval of the purchase of a gun. If I am buying a gun I, like Bob, want to really understand what I am getting; including shooting it. I wouldn't buy a car without driving it. Would you? You can't tell if all the functionality works without shooting it. Maybe it patterns two or three feet to the left, that has happened. However, if I think that's necessary I talk with the seller about what ammo I want to shoot in it, they have always agreed. I also don't agree with the "return for any reason, no reason". The potential buyer has taken that gun out of the market for about 10-15 days during one of these transactions. That gun potentially could have sold to another person looking for the same thing, but that other buyer satisfied their need by buying something else. Sometimes those are the only buyers looking for that gun at that time. It could go months before another person may be interested in that particular gun. Only if the gun has been misrepresented in some way would I consider taking it back, not because the buyer wasn't serious or they were fickle.
