Skeet, unfortunately, if a dealer takes in a firearm and enters it on his books there must be a record of the disposition of that firearm. For example say the dealer shipped the firearm from his inventory to another dealer he must make note and have a current (at time of transfer) file copy of the dealer's FFL in his files.
If a dealer were to receive a package addressed to you C/O him and the package was never opened, I would think the dealer would have grounds to deny his ownership of the package or its contents. But, and here is the huge but, with the ATF, every agent can interpret the ATF regulations so if a question arises 99% of the dealers will err on the side of caution, thus you have so many folks doing what is unnecessary. They are simply afraid of the ATF, their own government and what it can and might do to them.
The worse thing is of course, you bring in a gun, it is simply repaired, need a sheet to get it back, you fail the background check and I as a dealer can not give you your own gun back.
This is the part of the gun regulations that is infuriating, and unintended. But unintended or no, it is still part of the garbage.
