I don't know for sure, but since in Oregon, the serial is included, it may throw a flag in the system. Then again, I'll bet the system is archaic and probably wouldn't notice.

Now that one would be interesting to see what would happen at the FFL. I would "guess" this would be one of those times that if you ask several FFL holders you would get several different answers too.

"possession is 9/10th of the law", IMO yes. You bought it lawfully. Its yours to sell at any time.

that said, I would be more concerned if any buyer didnt clear their background check after their 3 days...

BGC does not transfer the firearm. Form 4473 is for the purpose of bgc and for atf tracking. People think it is a transfer document but it is not. There is not a title the state sends you (like with a vehicle) nor a deed recorded with the county (like with real property). Fe in Oregon you can legally transfer the firearm to a family member with no bgc.

Having said that, the transferor takes on the risk of the initial background check being denied, and also the risk of the bgc for the new transferee being denied. If either of those happen then it's legally a mess Imo. Vetting the buyer and them showing their chl for example may make someone more comfortable with the risk.

Seems to me the 3 day rule was started to be used in OR due to the "emergency" created by the pending m114 law (before it was enjoined). Similarly now WA has the "assault weapon" ban and threaded pistol ban looming. "Risk tolerance" (for those who did not buy earlier) may be different under such a situation compared to normal I would think. All just 2 cents

Form 4473 showing purpose is to aid ffl to see if it's a legal sale or not (bgc and letting them know of any restrictions) and atf record keeping. It does not transfer the weapon.
