If purchasing a new firearm and purchasing one from an individual, can you use the same/single background check at a local FFL dealer if doing the deal at the same time?

Yes, at least at my LGS you can.

I forget how many firearms can go on a single 4473, I think 4, but could be mistaken.

Regardless, the FFL should be able to do just the one background check if they are being transferred at the same time.

However as a private business, there are also there own business policies.

May be say...$25, $30, $40, $50 for the first trsnsfer, then $10 for each after that same day, same time.

Or alternatively it could be flat fee up to however many on a 4473...

I think my FFL said you can do up to 10 guns on one 4473 form at once in Washington (per background check) and Oregon I believe also, unless a certain state limits how many you can buy in a given period by laws they may have passed in some states.

My FFL charges only 1 fee ( which has a set amount for the background check fee set by state law in WA) for the background check even if you have up to 10 one 4473 form. But what an FFL Dealer may charge for multiple transfers for guns sent to thier gunshop to do the background checks varies from dealer to dealer. My dealer just charges 1 transferred fee if I have a few to do the background check for at once.

See that your local, might give Black Flag a call.

Had 4 lowers & 4 handguns shipped into them one day. Was surprised at the low fee. Honestly forget what it was, as it was a while back now. However I questioned the staff member just to make sure I wasn't ripping them off....

Edit, adding: all of the local FFL's we've dealt with are pretty decent though- ! Black Flag, Good Guys, Welburns & Legendary Arms.

I put 21 AK-47's on one form one time using an attached piece of paper, as described in the small print on the form

If an FFL transfers 3 or more pistols to an individual, the FFL is required to file additional paperwork (https://www.atf.gov/firearms/reporting-multiple-firearms-sales). Federal requirement, not state law. Some FFLs may charge additional fees to cover the hassle and some may refuse entirely.

Actually it's two or more pistols

Wow! That's a LOT of different answers!

The ATF has a lot of BS rules, for example the same 'multiple sales report' needs to be filled out if two or more long guns are sold in the border states

Sometimes I kinda like to think my selling 21 AK's on a single form had something to do with that long gun reporting...

ATF sure seemed excited about it when they came to visit

Done a bunch of multiple same day handgun purchases without ATF follow up. Not saying no follow up to such as the norm.

My understanding of any followup to such transactions is to account for the whereabouts of said handguns. So I simply would show them the handguns, or show them proof of transfer (FFL receipt to purchaser/trader).

No biggie.

Yup, lots of folks willing to share their knowledge & experiences on here.

The multiple purchase form is sent to the FBI

Neat!

So I'll be sure to wear a Hawaiian shirt if they show up.

At my local FFL I usually try to find something from the store to purchase when I get a personal or third party transfer done. My FFL charges two different rates for a BGC depending on if he is getting a cut of the sale or not (totally understandable), and getting a discount on the BGC is as good an excuse as any to grab something from the case.

Now if your FFL does not do this and charges a flat rate for a BGC then obviously this is a less enticing option, so your mileage may very. But there is certainly no legal impediment to putting as many firearms as you want on one transfer, the only limitation is how much work your FFL is willing to put up with.

I think the bottom line here is: check with your FFL for if/how he would like to handle your situation.

I've checked with 6 FFLs in my area and only found one who is willing to do a person-to-person transfer.

It's a simple 3 step process.

1.) Ask the forum.

2.) Get 17 different answers.

3.) Have to call the FFL and ask directly anyway.

This is the most correct. I will amend my future answers to reflect this absolute reality.

Easiest thing to do is if a person is going to be serious about this hobby and way of life, STAY ON TOP OF THE GUN LAWS all the time.

Each time guys ask how they can do this or that, the anti-gun pryks just ghost around in here and other sites and write down notes. They don't need to sit around and think up ways to skrew us out of our gun rights. People posting stupid stuff does thier work for them for the next legislative session to hit us with more anti gun bills.
Remember the old saying " loose lips sink ships" do research instead of posting so much junk. So the liberals aren't using shyt against us all the time.
I been trying to tell people this for years. When they don't listen they wonder why we keep getting bent over and more anti gun bills get passed into law in every state in the union.
Ya gotta be smarter than the average bear if we want to survive the liberals and win back and keep our God given rights.
