Curious how jpso knew to talk to you? Maybe someone gave your name?
As long as you made a legal sale, I don't see why it would be an issue for you. Hell, you might get your gun back.

He probably purchased it from a gun store.
They keep those 4473s around, they don't just get burned or something. That wouldn't be a complete registry, as it only is FFL transfers.
Again, please correct me if I'm wrong. To my knowledge a 4473 does not include serial numbers or specific description of firearm ie Remington 870 20 gauge. I know the FFL will tell the ATF person longarm or handgun, but that's it. Not looking for a confrontation here. Just thought you might know something I don't.
The atf contacts manufacturer they say we sold it to FFl ( insert name here) that FFL then says they sold it to ( ) so on and so forth till they get to a 4473.
Yes when a 4473 is called in all they say is long gun handgun or other if remember correctly, but the form is then completed by the ffl to include manufacturer model s/n and cal. all kept by the ffl. and goes no further unless a trace is done or unless multiple handguns
