I hear this all the time. Is this a real thing! As far as I know you cannot buy on the internet without picking it up at a FFL. If you buy at a gun show, you will get a background check. Am I wrong?

No background check if buying from a private individual at gun show. If buying from a dealer needs background check. If you buy on internet and they ship to FFL I don't know if a background check is done by receiving FFL.

Yes, it is. The one time I bought a gun online, it was my Ruger Gunsite Scout, which I purchased from an FFL in Pennsylvania. He shipped it to my local FFL, and I had to fill out the 4473 when I picked up the gun. Also, when my dealer receives the form 4 approval for my suppressor, I will have to fill out a 4473 when they transfer it to me - even though I paid for it 5 months ago.
