Thanks for all the info. I've wanted a C&R license for awhile & have just requested the form. I'll let y'all know what happens

quick! Hide your Credit cards. :p

they will be sorry .



on a side note. that discount at midway with c&R has cost me 2 grand over the last few months of having my C&R:fire: not to even mention Aim Surplus.
 
Get one! (a C&R license that is). Buy a single milsurp rifle and you'll more than make up the $30 fee right there. No need to pay $140 at the big box stores for a Mosin-Nagant M44 when they can still be had for $59-69 plus S&H, right to your door.

But like someone said, hide your credit cards :) I've bought my limit for this year in just a few months.
 
my understandign is you log ALL firearms obtained post getting your CR regardless of how they are obtained or what type

Actually, you have to log all C&R firearms obtained after you get your license, regardless as to whether or not you used your C&R to acquire them.

C&R firearms purchased before you got your license only go into your book if/when you DISPOSE of them.
 
I've sent off for C&R paperwork. After I get the license, I'm going to send it off to a few vendors including Midway & Brownells.
Do I have to provide anything else aside from my customer ID number? Reading the fine print at the bottom of the Midway dealer application page leads me to believe that they want a business name or type. While researching the topic here, I've read nothing of the sort. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks
 
I sent in for the paperwork too.
One small step towards my real dream of being an honest to God FFL and buying/selling guns for a living.

anyone know what exactly is required to buy and resell firearms?
 
From what little I understand, a C&R is not for buying and selling. It's there to allow collectors to receive C&R firearms direct; ie not paying an FLL to receive a C&R gun and then do the transfer.

This is not a license for unlimited buying and selling for profit. I think that falls under the FLL type 1 (C&R is an FLL type 3).

Please don't take this as fact; I'm just getting into this and I'm probably 2 days ahead of you in the research department :) Someone please make corrections as necessary!
 
Hoppy590, you don't have to log all firearms you get after you have your C&R. You only have to log the C&R-eligible firearms (whether you used the license to buy them or not). If it's not a C&R firearm, it doesn't go in the bound book.
 
Actually, the C&R firearms list you'll get from ATF is incomplete. It shows all of the firearms that the ATF has specifically determined are C&R-eligible, but doesn't include a lot of firearms that are eligible because they are over 50 years old.

If somebody asks the ATF to add a firearm to the C&R list, and can justify why it should be either a curio or a relic, then they will add it. It may be a firearm that is otherwise eligible (I believe one of Charles Lindbergh's pistols is on the list, even though it's over 50 years old and thus eligible anyway), or a newer firearm with some collectible value (125th anniversary edition Colt Single-Action Army, for example).

As for Brownell's, when you send them a signed copy of the C&R license, they'll give you a customer id that gets you the dealer discount. You don't need a business name.
