Ordered a handgun from Bud's, did the transfer at a local FFL store Saturday.
When the manager checked the clerk's paperwork and looked at the gun, he had trouble reading the serial #, even with his flashlight. He asked another clerk to check it, as what he read off was different than what the end label on the box said and also the sticker on the user manual. Clerk squinted & read off the correct number.
All good, so we complete the transfer & I go home. Last night while getting the rebate paperwork together, I noticed that the serial # on my cash receipt for the FFL transfer was incorrect - the 1st clerk had left off one digit from the number that was actually on the gun, box label, and proof of purchase sticker on the user manual.... and the manager missed it.
So, back I go to the FFL in the morning to get that screwup straightened out. I will be taking my vintage Sherlock Holmes style magnifying glass for them to use this time. The number on the gun's frame is really small & tough to read, but I'm an oldfart anyway.
Don't ya know the manufacturer would disallow the cash rebate because the numbers between the FFL invoice wouldn't jive with the proof of purchase sticker off the user manual.
My advice - check it all yourself prior to leaving your FFL
