Here, the gun MUST be taken from the box and the serial checked ON the gun itself. The label on the box isn't always correct. On another forum, a guy wrote about this. He was buying a cheap CETME, but in the box was an AR-180 worth much more! In the end, you don't want to give the
BATF any reason to look at you. Make sure the gun and the number check out! And make sure the gun is in good shape - they have been known to have issues right from the shop.
