Schmit,

You're right in that losing the paperwork would be a PITA, but even if you lost all over your paperwork and ATF lost all of their paperwork, there is still some hope. You would be listed in the dealer's bound book and the dealers I have dealt with kept a copy of the Form 4 for their records. When I go down to get the CLEO signature, they also keep a copy of the Form 4. You would also have the cancelled check used to pay the $200 tax (I always put the gun's serial number on the check).
