I had heard about the cash and carry, but did not know he actually had a rack labeled as such.

When I was an FFL, we could sell our personal (non-BBooked) long guns the same way a non-FFL holder could. Maybe that is what was going on?

Correct me if I'm wrong:
An FFL is a licensee, permitted by that license to facilitate transfers for others. Selling your own gun, not as a business, would not require that.
Some actually in the business of selling firearms is required to do a 4473 on *all* sales, using their FFL to do so.
Or am I missing something?

I am curious about this as well . A local started a small shop 3 years ago and he told me that he had to list all his personal firearms he had already owned before he got his ffl ? (listed in a book of some sort ) ?? If this is true your collection of personal gun become part of the business ?

Back when an FFL was easy to get - as a lawful right for the law-abiding to try to be in the gun biz - folks were tacking on a CL to get in on the party. Do like 3 NFA transfers a year to show your actively in the biz... we simply transfer otherwise unobtainable dealer samples amongst each other and snag a few $100.00 MACs as keepers along the way.
Eventually get outta the biz- keep them all until you die. No other way to get and keep a genuine factory MP5 or factory Beretta Modelo21.
Might have worked that way then, now the ffl goes so does the post 86.

No, that would be the reason for separating them out.

True that. Which is why "pre-86" dealer samples are getting almost as expensive as "transferables" and registered DEWATs; cant play the keeper games with post-86's.
