10. Would the FFL be creating a 4473 on these checks, I wonder?

To the best of my knowledge, the only legally mandated records* an FFL holder has to maintain is the federal Form 4473, the record of firearms transfer. Since they're not the entity actually making the transfer (they never had ownership of the weapon), I wonder if there's any such requirement. The 4473 has always been for original transfer of a new firearm.

If not, then this is an area which needs to be addressed in universal background check laws. I'll take a look, when I have time, at Oregon's new universal background check law and see if there's anything in this area.

* records of firearms, that is...obviously they have other required records, like accounting books, etc.
