Could you post a picture of the tube? I'm just curious as I haven't actually seen one that does that.

I didn't ever see a follow up from the other person that had the this problem, so I'm not sure how it ended up being handled for them as far as transfer/background check fees. It seem clear from the wording of the law that they didn't actually have to send the new receiver back to a dealer for a transfer, but they just may be doing it the easy way for them. Otherwise they would have to make some special notes in their acquisition/disposition records. If they're willing to foot the bill for any additional transfer/background check fees I'd say get a replacement that works as it should.
