ATF E-Form 4473 (5300.9) has fields where text can become cut off

FFL Software Update

The October 2016 revision of ATF E-Form 4473 (5300.9) has fields where text can become cut off. You can’t simply limit the length of the text because the 4473 uses a monospaced font. In other words, you can fit way more “i”s than you can “W”s. Because this can result in a violation from an overzealous IOI, FastBound now makes sure the text you entered won’t be cut off.

Current customers can take advantage of this great feature immediately.

New customers can try FastBound, the best FFL Software for firearms acquisition and disposition (A&D Bound Books) for free (no credit card required), or schedule a live demo at your convenience.
