I know, they weren't happy when I kept using made up ones because I didn't have my wallet on me to get my FAL number.

P.S this is what HDPA done with the FAL she had on the form, she didn't "borrow" anyone's FAL number, she just learnt the format of a FAL number and made one up.

E.g is T519845 a real FAL number?

Looks it, could even be, but I just made it up. So clever huh? Not.

Actually nah, not quite.
I don't know how they check, but they DO check you have a legit FAL. They refused to provide me the details on how they check.
I used to enter a false number that looked right (due to sharing of information etc) and they nailed me - wouldn't let me bid/question/sell anything firearm related until I provided them with a scanned copy of my license.
