Got my C&R

[RCouch]

Just recieved my C & R in the mail. Sure is a bunch of stuff to read. Any advice on what can be skipped? I remember that I should not sign my original certificate, but only sign the copies, and that I will need a better place than the one sent to record transactions. Where can you get the record logs. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

1) Read Everything--nothing may be skipped. Besides, it's fun.
2) You can make a legal log in a binder using the sample in the material atf provides or you can buy the 'store bought' kind from a bunch of sources. Doing a computer based one isn't advised. You need permission to do so.
3) Enter everything promptly the second you get it.

There are some nice copies of logs that I use:

Red ink? I thought the recommendation was Blue Ink? I guess as long as it can be told that it is signed in ink and not a photo copy of your signature. Still have about 15 days before I should get mine.

About how long is it taking these days after getting the paperwork in ?

 

[carterbeauford]

hex, mine came in about a month.

Congratulations! They charged my CC the $30 back on August 15th, but I didn't get the license in my hand until Dec. 31st.

Depends on what area of the country you are in.

Mine took 15 days mailbox to mailbox (that's including the weekends). Some States take much, much, longer. 3-4 months in some cases.

As a C&R holder myself,I can say,"your in trouble"!!
My first year was the worst,then it starts getting a little better.
It's still not great,as I spend way to much on "deals" on guns,as
well as ammo.
Wish you the best.

Hell, I'm still waiting for the ATF to answer a simple question before I can apply for mine...

I mailed mine 01.11.07........counting down the days......

Just renewed mine. The C&R license is worth the $30 even if you don't buy a C&R firearm. The money you save from midwayusa, brownells and a few others will pay you back in no time.

I've had my license for over 3 years now and have only purchased 3 C&R weapons. Don't ask me how, but I've shown restaint on the mil surp arms.

It took me 8 weeks to get mine.
Thanks Dr. Dickie for the info on where to order logs. I agree with you guys that I'll have to watch my budget or I'm doomed.
