Revised 4473 Now Live in Orchid eBound
This past December, ATF notified the firearms industry of updates made to Form 4473 and the release of a revised form. Though not mandatory for use until April 1, 2023, the Orchid eBound/e4473 application has been updated to reflect these revisions. Effective immediately, Orchid eBound will process all new transactions using the updated 4473. No action is required by the user to begin use of the new form. In accordance with ATF guidance, any in-process forms that have been completed to the point of contacting NICS may be completed and retained in the old format. If the transaction is delayed pending NICS and crosses the April 1, 2023 deadline, that is acceptable. For these in-process transactions, the e4473 will be completed in the original format without any required action of the user.
In Progress and Completed 4473s Now Searchable by Serial Number
We have added the ability for users to search both In Progress and Completed 4473s by Serial Number.
