Multiple guns purchase requirements

[classical_buff]

Hi,

I am in the market for both Ruger Mini-14 and rimfire (22LR) pistol and thinking about putting them both in the same DROS. Would this require FFL to file Multiple guns purchase notice to ATF?

I know it is just a form for FFL to file with ATF but I thought there was caliber requirement (bigger than 22LR?). I know it is not that big deal but if I can avoid them (legally), I rather not do anything that generates any paper work with my name on it to ATF.

Maybe, I should just split the purchase and wait a few weeks between them.

Would appreciate any information or clarification.

All handguns must have their own DROS, but multiple long guns may be on one.

The reporting requirement is for multiple handguns or more than one semiautomatic rifle capable of accepting a detachable magazine and with a caliber greater than .22. AFAIK, it does not apply to a combination of 1 handgun and 1 rifle.

That's how it used to be. It changed when long gun registration was required, and now handguns and long guns can be done on the same transaction with only one DROS fee. Just make sure that you mention a single DROS to the dealer before they run it. If they exit before adding the second, third, etc firearm, another DROS fee will be charged. The dealer can still charge you an extra fee per gun (except on PPT), but if done properly, only 1 DROS fee.

Sorry, wrong answer, but thank you for playing.

Each firearm is on its own DROS now and has been for quite some time.

As said, since the one rifle is a .22LR, that does not apply to the multiple long gun reporting.

A firearm with a bullet button is considered to have a detachable magazine according to the Feds, so it applies.

The BATF can get a copy of all the DROS that are submitted, so the form really does not matter and if you really want to make things better, then always try to purchase such that the form has to get submitted so that they drown in paperwork, which makes it meaningless. Honestly, it does not matter though, unless you are constantly doing it and there is some reason why you attract their attention, nothing to going to come of it. Yeah, I know, that does not make it right, but why would you want to pay more to the state for the DROS? It seems to me that is more important to reduce considering what they are doing with the money.

one dros one firearm, you may put them all on the same 4473 but when you dros them they will be individual DROS's you only have to pay the $25 once but each firearm is on its own dros
