Dad and I did that with the Police trade in Berettas, bought 4 each! Never had the AFT stop by for a visit, and we still have most of them, having gifted one each to my brothers!I remember an FFL friend telling me about something similar happening to another one of his customers, and this was maybe 15 years ago.
The guy found a great deal on police trade-in Glocks, and bought something like ten of them. Apparently this was a bit of a red flag since the average person doesn't do that unless they're reselling them for double on the street. Honestly I can understand that suspicion.
They showed up at his door wanting to see the guns. He showed them to them, they said thank you and left.
He told me the story because I was buying several old handguns. I never got any visitors though. Apparently the ATF isn't terribly interested in obsolete guns like Nagant revolvers.
