Mulitple gun purchase question

Not sure about your question, but (don't mean to hijack your thread)
I did find out the other day that if you are doing a private transfer at an FFL and an FFL transfer for something you had shipped to the FFL where you are doing the private transfer, the CBI makes you do two separate background checks with separate fees.
Don't know if it put me on another list or not though.

As monkey said, not true. Pardon my language but it sounds like your FFL is being lazy and wanted to make a little extra cash. I believe you can fit five items on one 4473. I've seen some dealers charge an additional $5 per item but that's it. The good guys will fit as many as they can for you to save you some money.

The situation was: I had a stripped lower sent to this FFL from in state.
I was also buying a handgun from a private individual. I figured we'd do the transfer at the same FFL in order to only have one background check.
The FFL originally filled out one form for both transfers. When they called it in and told them what I was doing, they were told that they needed to do two separate transfers.
The FFL gave me two new forms to fill out and charged me an additional fee.
Of course it made no sense to me. Just passing on my personal experience.

Your 4473 has no bearing where the firearms originally comes from as both firearms are in the FFL's possession. It should be on one 4473. CBI help desk can be very confusing when it comes to 4473, as they are not ATF. Once I transferred over 200 firearms from 2 sellers on one 4473 to my name. Misinformation happens... alot.

EDIT: CBI confirmed, COLORADO requires private transfer to be separated from dealer transfer.

Yep, you're right - there's no limit on the form. There are 5 lines on the 4473, but you can attach a separate sheet with as many as you want. There is some extra bookkeeping work required per firearm, and I'm guessing that's why some guys charge a bit more.
