The address they put on the form was lined out and they had to Hand Wright it in. *uck That. It looks tacky as shit doing error corrections on official forms. I told him to not even think about sending that out to my house I would return to sender. This is something I am going to have for the rest of my life. I don’t need forms that have error corrections on them. He told me when I gave him my forms the address was correct but that during that time they moved. 9.5 months for nothing Really pissed off. I don’t really buy the story. Plus I have OCD.
He told me he was going to void it or something and now I have to E-file this time around. I also have to send another $200 but I will get my First $200 back from the ATF. This was my first order from them too. I don’t know anything about E-file other then the problems so I am guessing E-file is done on his side and if its not he is going to do it for me because I don’t really want any part of it. Paper was fine for me. =(
Another " clog up the system for non-issues " issue. Chances are you will never be asked for paperwork. Your life is too easy if this is all you have to be upset about.
People are currently waiting over a year for their stuff to be filed. Way to jam them up and make there shit take longer because you don’t like how it’s spelled. Sounds like a dick move to me.

I’d politely suggest, in all respectful seriousness, that you get assistance for your OCD. The ATF allows handwritten corrections to forms, as long as they are neatly written. It’s part of the text on the letter they send back when they request changes to a form. If it upsets you enough to start over, then more power to you, but please understand that the cost and trouble of starting over is on you, for refusing an approved Form 4.
I have had to type, send and receive a LOT of NFA paperwork over the last decade at our retail location, and if someone told me they didn’t want their form because it was corrected by hand, I’d go with it - but I’d try to talk them out of it first, for their sake. I might also be tempted to charge them $50 again for the paperwork, as a correction made to show the current operating location of the FFL, doesn’t represent a mistake on the part of the store, it represents the mandatory compliance the ATF requires to approve the form.
That’s going to be a lot of wasted time waiting for another copy. My FFL somehow had some water or some type of liquid drip three spots on my form 4, so what?
OP, this is the biggest non-issue I’ve ever read and frankly, maybe you should not be in the NFA game is this kind of stuff bothers you.
Crap happens, the ATF allows corrections and you’ve wasted both your time and your dealer’s time by wanting a perfect form.
My Form 1 was returned for correction due to my dickup. They sent it back with the sections to be highlighted. I crossed out the incorrect information and corrected it per ATF regs.
Frankly, I’d say “deal with it, come pick up your can”. But that’s probably why I don’t work in customer service.
Seems like if it was approved, why decline? But, I dont have OCD.
