'''Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Pistols and Revolvers''', or '''ATF Form 3310.4''', is a form prescribed by the [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives](/source/Bureau_of_Alcohol%2C_Tobacco%2C_Firearms%2C_and_Explosives) (ATF) for use by firearm dealers holding a [Federal Firearms License](/source/Federal_Firearms_License) (FFL) to report when an unlicensed person purchases or acquires two or more handguns at one time or during five consecutive business days.<ref>ATF Form 3310.4, Instructions</ref>

The form must be completed in triplicate (3 copies): the original is sent to ATF's National Tracing Center by fax or mail; a copy is sent to the designated [State police](/source/State_police) or the local law enforcement agency in the jurisdiction where the sale took place; and the third copy is retained in the records of the [dealer](/source/Federal_Firearms_License) and held for not less than 5 years.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.atf.gov/qa-category/conduct-business|title=Conduct of Business &#124; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives|website=www.atf.gov}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nssf.org/retailers/compliance-timely-submission-multiple-handgun-sales-reports/|title = Compliance: Timely Submission of Multiple Handgun Sales Reports}}</ref>

The requirement to report multiple sales or other dispositions of pistols or revolvers has been in place since the [Gun Control Act of 1968](/source/Gun_Control_Act_of_1968).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/fact-sheet/fact-sheet-multiple-firearms-sales|title=Reporting Multiple Firearms Sales &#124; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives}}</ref> ATF has stated that these reports of multiple sales are a valuable tool when investigating [gun trafficking](/source/gun_trafficking).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/02/atf-gun-laws-nra/|title = How the NRA Hobbled the ATF}}</ref>
