Sec. 478.126a  Reporting multiple sales or other disposition of pistols 
and revolvers.

    Each licensee shall prepare a report of multiple sales or other 
disposition whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of, at one 
time or during any five consecutive business days, two or more pistols, 
or revolvers, or any combination of pistols and revolvers totaling two 
or more, to an unlicensed person: Provided, That a report need not be 
made where pistols or revolvers, or any combination thereof, are 
returned to the same person from whom they were received. The report 
shall be prepared on Form 3310.4, Report of Multiple Sale or Other 
Disposition of Pistols and Revolvers. Not later than the close of 
business on the day that the multiple sale or other disposition occurs, 
the licensee shall forward two copies of Form 3310.4 to the ATF office 
specified thereon and one copy to the State police or to the local law 
enforcement agency in which the sale or other disposition took place. 
Where the State or local law enforcement officials have notified the 
licensee that a particular official has been designated to receive Forms 
3310.4, the licensee shall forward such forms to that designated 
official. The licensee shall retain one copy of Form 3310.4 and attach 
it to the firearms transaction record, Form 4473, executed upon delivery 
of the pistols or revolvers.

    Example. 1. A licensee sells a pistol and revolver in a single 
transaction to an unlicensed person. This is a multiple sale and must be 
reported not later than the close of business on the date of the 
transaction.
    Example. 2. A licensee sells a pistol on Monday and sells a revolver 
on the following Friday to the same unlicensed person. This is a 
multiple sale and must be reported not later than the close of business 
on Friday. If the licensee sells the same unlicensed person another 
pistol or revolver on the following Monday, this would constitute an 
additional multiple sale and must also be reported.
    Example 3. A licensee maintaining business hours on Monday through 
Saturday sells a revolver to an unlicensed person on Monday and sells 
another revolver to the same person on the following Saturday. This does 
not constitute a multiple sale and need not be reported since the sales 
did not occur during five consecutive business days.
