Follow these steps to complete the multiple-rifle sale report accurately:

Submission Requirements and Deadlines
The ATF requires that this multiple-rifle sale report be submitted on the date of the final sale or transfer that triggers the reporting threshold. Dealers must send the original to the ATF and a copy to the chief local law enforcement officer where the sale took place. The dealer must also retain a copy as part of their federal records. There is no online submission system for the standard PDF version, though the ATF E-Form 3310.11A is available through ATF's eForm portal for electronic filing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What triggers the ATF Form 3310 11 reporting requirement?
The requirement is triggered when a licensed dealer sells or transfers two or more rifles to the same unlicensed person during a five-consecutive-business-day period. Each qualifying transaction in that window must be listed on a single report and submitted on the day of the final sale.
Is the multiple-rifle sale form the same as the multiple-handgun report?
No. This report covers rifles only. A separate form, the ATF E-Form 3310.4, applies to multiple handgun sales. Both documents share the same five-business-day reporting window and the same submission process to ATF and local law enforcement.
Does the buyer need to provide information directly on the form?
The buyer does not sign this ATF document directly. The dealer records the buyer's information from a government-issued photo ID and completes and signs the report. The transaction data is also connected to the buyer's ATF Form 4473 records from each individual sale.
What happens if an FFL fails to file this report on time?
Failure to submit this federal form when required is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 923(g)(3). Licensed dealers who do not file on time may face civil fines, license revocation, or other penalties from the ATF. Accurate and timely filing is a legal obligation for all covered transactions.

Yes. After completing the form on FormsPal, you can download the finished ATF Form 3310 11 PDF and print it for submission to the ATF.
