Great info, im an SDI grad as well and now current 07-FFL in California ( i know, i know)...I've started to keep both digital copy's (Fastbound) and physical copies for my A&D books to help further CYA. For any other newer FFL coming into the business I'd suggest looking into fastbound as they really help you get into the nitty-gritty of the bound books along with the ability to instantly populate for the ATF/DOJ if they ever need a look through.
With regards to notification by customer transfers... that should always be stipulated, and not just assumed at FFL website, or other media. Not all FFL want to check e-mails regularly just to comb through customer notifications, but for other FFL related business. Having said that, and in my opinion... creating a dedicated e-mail address for said FFL notices is recommended, separate from other FFL business. Thanks for the information, and topic.
Some older imported firearms from the early 1900s will often not have a model number, some (especially the ones from Belgium) do not have a maker's name, and caliber markings, if any, are not terribly specific (i.e., one of my top break revolvers simply says .44). Serial numbers also sometimes do not exist as they were not legally required before 1968. I have one, a 1st generation Coltish type that has no markings at all but all parts are of Colt 1873 SAA dimension, It came to me from an old guy in Texas and I believe these were called Mexican Colts, illegal clones of Colts from South of the Border. I have also seen (but passed on the purchase) a Luger someone had polished and re-blued prior to 1968 which had absolutely all of it's exterior markings polished (corner edges rounded off too) off by whoever did that bluing. We do the best we can when describing such weapons in our bound books. I have experienced guns shipped to me either being left on the ground outside my place if I wasn't there and also once had some dropped off at a neighbor's place when someone shipped them without a signature being required and I wasn't home on the day the guns showed up. Thankfully none were lost that way.
This was very helpful. I am a new C&R FFL holder (not everything applies 100%). I have received several items in my acquisition portion. I am releasing my first item from my collection. In my example I have 15 items items in my acquisition. Currently my disposition record is completely empty (because I am holding on to the items for my collection). The item I am releasing (returning) is NOT acquisition record #1. To me it makes more sense to fill out the disposition record that is on the same line as the acquisition record. For example acquisition #15 and disposition #15 are together (even though disposition records #1 through #14 are blank). This way I can easily see the item coming in and going out on the same record line. I am assuming this is the way it is supposed to be done. Can you conform this? Thanks!

Great info. The A&D book can be a major breaking point for an FFL.

why did you write all that extra info on the deposition? you can just write their name and the 4473 number.
Im in SDI and I'm in the 32 credit course the certificate in gunsmithing when will I get that stuff
It should be in one of your syllabus, or check with your coordinator, I am sure they will know.
@@kenibnanak5554 OK thank you
Is there a benefit to making copies of the book on a weekly/daily basis?
It is a record and like any other record, sometimes it is nice to have a back up copy.
