Cabella's puts the phone number there because they sell so many guns that people go shopping while waiting for their 4473 to be called in turn. I have bought a few guns there, and before I had my CCW, sometimes the wait was over an hour for them to call it in and for me to get through that one and only gun check out.
They probably fax all the forms to corporate for inventory control as well as fulfilling the storage requirement of the forms.
