Are You Properly Filling Out ATF Form 3310? Here's Why It Matters.

By Bree Closs

What is ATF Form 3310?

ATF Form 3310 is a critical document for Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs). It's used to report on the sale of multiple handguns to the same person within a 5-day period. Properly filling out this form helps the ATF track and prevent straw purchasing and other illegal firearm trafficking.

Why is Form 3310 Important?

Incomplete or incorrect 3310 forms can lead to FFL license revocation. This puts your entire business at risk. The ATF takes 3310 compliances very seriously, as improper reporting allows dangerous individuals to easily acquire multiple firearms. Improper completion of ATF Form 3310 is a leading cause of FFL revocations.

The Top 3310 Mistakes That Get FFLs in Trouble:

  1. Missing buyer information (name, address, etc.)
  1. Incorrect calculation of "days between purchases"
  1. Failure to submit the form within the required timeframe
