Do you have any prints on file. PD apps or security clearances? No felony record? [:D] |

Prints are on file with FBI for my professional licenses. I have a Concealed Carry license. Prints on file with state and FBI for that. Obviously, since I have a CHL and securities licenses, I have no felonies. Clean as a whistle as far as THE MAN is concerned. Does that make the process faster. |

I've had one for about 2 years now. So far, 2 Springfield Garands, 1 Winchester Garand receiver, and 2 Yugo M48s.
Not much of a collection, I know, but I'm trying. |

yeap. most expensive piece of paper i have. damn thing made me get another gun safe.
i deal with aim mostly, better service. sucks that all the usgi stuff costs $500 and not $50 like all the european guns. you need to get at least one of the captured k98. the rifles look brand new, at least the ones i got. also give empirearms.com a look. nice people. i'm looking for an international harvester m1 if anybody got one. got an extra springfield i got part with |

Be sure to fill out the 'Citizen Verification(?)' form. It's now required for the C&RL.
Week before last I received a beautiful asenal refurbished 1927 Sistema (Colt) at my home for under $350. In fact yesterday I sent a MO for another. Gawd I love my C&R![banana] Edited to add: Got 'em at L.C. Enterprises [url]http://www.dealerease.com/catalog/product.asp?pid=1006592&ret_id=140211[/url]. Great folk! |

Hey LT,
Great decision on getting the C&R. I sent my paperwork in at the begining of February. Hopefully my C&R will get here soon. I am a Texas resident and a CHL holder as well so maybe you can gauge when yours will come in based on my experience. I'll let you know when mine gets here. So far it is two months and counting... |

Quoted: ... I really wanted to get a WW I and WW II Collection going ... Don’t take to long. Sadly, those weapons are starting to dry up (or, more accurately, become rather expensive). The end is sorta in sight; military rifles after the 1950’s are going to be full auto and by in large will never be available to collectors. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m actually wondering if I should pick up a Carcano now – even they’re starting to disappear! Just a suggestion, but if I were you the very first rifle I’d get would be a Swiss K-31 (from AIM) – the cheap ones are almost gone. |

I just received a call from the BATF and the inspector needs to make a personal visit to my house to inspect the site and go over the rules and regs. Did everyone else go throug this procedure? I dont know why but I was under the impression that the license was just sent in the mail and that there was not involvement at the personal level with the BATF??

Maybe they’ve somehow gotten the impression you’re getting a regular FFL. Or maybe they’ve just changed things and you’re the first lucky guy to receive this one-on-one counseling! [:D] While it seems to be a pretty rare occurrence, ATF can require a C&R holder to make his log book available for inspection. Please let us know if something new is going on!! |

I don't know where the regulation is but every person in NY that gets a C&R gets interviewed.
It has been going on for about 3 years now. What is this "I've had my CFFL for x years and I have bought 6 guns "????? Get off the ball guys!!!! My collection went from about 30 to over 100 in 3 years. I know of only one guy that has been inspected and it went by with no problem. Didn't even look at his guns. |

Green 18, I got my C&R 1/01/03 and did not receive any personal communication from the ATF. I don't know what you could have that they could inspect. Possibly a blank log book? Maybe your local c.l.e.o contacted the ATF after he got the copy of the application you sent him and bitched about you getting a license.No reason needed, just because he can.
I have a gunsafe with a dedicated shelf in it for my log and C&R pistols, but my long guns are in my reloading room(locked door) with a 1/4" cable locking them together. If anyone knows of any security requirements per the rule book, I'd like to have a chapter and paragraph quoted to me.Before you meet the ATF, be sure you read the requirements for the log book and understand what information goes in the book. Keep us posted on what happens.By the way, I had a FFL to sell out of my home for 6 years and never heard from the ATF, I let that license expire 3 years ago. |

Quoted: Can someone tell me what benefits you get from a C&R and what exactly it is? Thanks C&R is a form of federal firearms license... It allows you to purchase certain firearms (those that are either a certain number of years old (30, IIRC), or are 'no longer likely to be used as weapons') directly, without going through a dealer. You cannot sell guns for profit, or buy 'modern' weapons on your C&R license (i.e. if you want a brand new AR-10, you'll have to get it through a dealer) though... |

50 yrs old is automatically C&R unless it is a military rifle not in original config. Otherwise it has to be on the C&R list on the ATF website. Anyone can submit a type or a single gun for acceptance to the ATF. You need a good reason and they don't have to accept the recommondation.

Mine took about 3 or 4 weeks to get and it is incredible! I've since talked 4 guys into getting one just from them shooting my stuff! I don't know what styraug is talking about with aim and Sog, but I've received top notch service and product from both of them including M48 and m48 a's, cz-52's (4 of them!) Enfields, mosin nagant's and many others and they've all been exactly as described and usually better. They have been great and I wouldn't hesitate to order from them!

We seem to have a few slackers on this site!
Man, I haven't even shot most of my C&R acquired stuff yet. Who has that much time? Seriuosly, I've been averaging about 4-5 guns a month for a while. A quick check down the bore, check under the wood and then store it. The girlfreind will be here next month, so I can't have the fedex guy show up with a big 5-fer box or a little box and a smirk. All those great deals will pass me by. Gone forever. Hm. Her dad was in the luftwaffe and had strong opinions about Russians, and she was not enthused about my Mosin-Nagant collection. Guilt by association, I guess. EDIT: Yeah, a couple guys were astonished at how easy it was to get a C&R, and how easy it was to buy. One of them finally got his own C&R, and the other pesters me to buy an extra for him. C&R's are the biggest secret in all of gundom. |

I am hoping instructions comes with your license. Maybe someone here can answer that. When you change address, you just have to let the BATF know and they will send you a new license with the new adress. I guess if you move to a new police juristiction, you also have to send a copy of the new license to the cleo in the area. I'm guessing you cannot have C&R stuff shipped to you out of country - but that is just a guess. Try calling the Atlanta BATF office, they are really nice and helpful - they'll tell you. |
