EVERY SHOOTER Should Get a C&R FFL!

[jamz]

Got my paperwork Friday!

 

[icyclefar]

Got mine!

17 days from mailbox to mailbox

This could prove to be financially painful!

Greg has it right. C&R eligible guns are those >50 yrs old or on a special list published by BATFE.

So no USPs for ~40 more years.

BTW, nothing wrong with used guns, as long as they weren't abused. H&K gives a lifetime warranty anyway. Both my USP Compacts were purchased used and I saved ~$50 on the first one (it was only 2 weeks old prior to the owner trading for a Glock) or ~$200 on the second one.

One trip to the range and my guns become "used" . . . IMNSHO not worth $100 or more just to be the "first shot" on a gun.

OK so only guns that are 50 years old or older? Great for gun collectors, not so great for people that like newer guns I guess. Oh well.

That's why it's called a Collector of Curious and Relics license.

Placed my first "Dealer Order" at MidwayUSA, I saved about $80!

What I spent ............... thats top secret.

Midway took my FFL via fax and had me set up in one day!

I called and they said they sent it almost a month earlier. I told them I hadn't recoeved it and they sent another one out. After I called I had it within three days.

 

[Moderator]

I called again yesterday. They said it is still being processed and said it can take up to 90 days from when they receive it.

Needless to say I am awaiting May 13th, aka Mothers day

Would you rather get a gun for Mother's day than flowers dear one? I didn't know you had given birth.

 

[Mikey]

Holy Crap! after doing a quick search I just saw what I could get with a C&R!!

Needless to say I just ordered my application from the ATF, Thanks for this thread guys, I just can't believe it took me this long to figure this out!

 

[Ripach]

And so it begins...

On the way home from the significant other LTC class actually talking guns and shooting with my wife, I thought my day couldn't get any better. Much to my surprise however my C&R and the accompanying literature was waiting to greet me at my mail box. And so it begins a short 19 days from submitting my application, the quest for what to buy.

 

[vellnueve]

Buy a couple Mosins and a few cases of ammo.

 

[kevin9]

My application went into the mail yesterday. We'll see how long it takes.

 

[Arioch]

Does the C&R application need CLEO approval?

 

[Mikey]

Does the C&R application need CLEO approval?

No, but you do have to inform them.

 

[Dirtypacman]

Congrats to those who have recently recieved them... to the just submitted group you will be happy

 

[95blklsc]

Submitted mine a day or two ago, lets see how long it takes!

 

[Lynne]

Does the C&R application need CLEO approval?

You just need to make a copy of your application and send it to or drop it by the chief's officce.

 

[firtree]

Woohoo, I found a nice big package from the BATFE on my doorstep
this afternoon. If anyone is willing to share (privately) dealers who will
give C&R discounts I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Just received my C&R today. not bad just 18 days. now the spending starts.

 

[Transporter]

I received my app in the mail today, and it'll go out tomorrow. Wife was a bit freaked to see an envelope arrive from BATFE. I told her I was getting a permit for fully automatic machine guns.

As if any of us could expect to get a class III...I can dream, tho, right?

Anyway, the countdown begins for my C&R.

 

[Moderator]

Got my blue envelope yesterday.

 

[Chris]

OK, so it is time to renew my 03-FFL and I got my envelope to mail.

The only stamps in the house are the freaking Valentine Day leftovers.

Here is my Envelope. Hope someone at the ATF has a sense of humor...

 

[dreppucci007]

[95blklsc]

My CC was charged last week, I should be seeing a package soon! =)

... I told her I was getting a permit for fully automatic machine guns.

Not to go too far OT, but I'm not sure what you are getting at. There is no federal law against full auto possession, although there is a costly and time-consuming registration/transfer process. Some states (MA being one of them) add the additional hurdle of requiring anyone seeking to own a machinegun to get a state permit. Such permits do exist and many MA residents own full auto firearms quite legally.

Back to topic... some machineguns are C&R.

My bad. I thought (erroneously) that a class III allowed for the purchase of select fire and machine guns.

Back to topic, my CC was charged yesterday for my C&R. Three business days after I mailed in the app. Is this a good sign?

 

[Emoto]

What are you referring to when you say "a class III"? You do not need any kind of federal license to buy select fire and machine guns. You have to fill out a federal form and pay $200 transfer tax. In MA, you need a state license to do so, though.
