ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION : Type 07 Manufacturer investigation resulted in cited violations of: 27 CFR 478.21(a) for redacted instances of failing to ensure proper completion of ATF Forms 4473 (items 11a and 30a); 27 CFR 478.99(a) for redacted instances of prohibited interstate dispositions of a receiver/frame; 27 CFR 478.124(c)(3)(iv) for failing to properly complete ATF Forms 4473 for PICs response (items 19c and 21c); and 27 CFR 478.126a for failing to report redacted multiple sale of redacted handguns. 1187 firearms in stock redacted open A&D entries redacted ATF Forms 4473 were examined from the inspection period; and redacted firearms had been acquied with redacted disposed during the inspection period. No referrals were generated as no manufacturing had yet occurred and due to lock of federal prosecutorial merit; no straw sales were disclosed. Although the one violation of 27 CFR 478.99(a) could merit a recommendation of Warning Conference, a recommendation of Warning Letter only and Recall is being made for the following reasons: the violation was not willfully committed as the FFL mistakenly had believed that only AR-style receivers and handgun receivers could not be transferred to an out-of-state purchaser; no derogatory information was disclosed on the purchasers or the firearms; the overall percentage of violations was low, the FFL is generally well educated regarding, and voluntarily compliant with federal law and regulation; and all required/suggested corrective actions were readily addressed by the FFL. Hardcopy Inspection report and file being forwarded to DIO for Division-level review.
