Got my C&R license. 3 weeks.

It took about 3 weeks from mailing the paperwork to receiving the license. I had a minor mixup in sending my CLEO copy, I sent it to the village chief instead of the county sheriff. Thankfully I had an extra copy, so I got that sorted out. Now I just need money to start buying crap :)

    Looks like either they have the system lubed or there are many fewer applications now. Mine took 7 months. Renews next year, hope that only takes 3 weeks.

    I just sent my request for the paperwork last weekend. Am I right that I can buy any non class 3 weapon over 50 years old with this license and bypass the middle man? If so I'm in, been eyeballing those Mosin m-44's at J&G sales for awhile now. Always wanted a 303 British enfield too.

    Yep, you are right-and they are delivered right to your door.

    The CRFFL has to be the quickest way I know of going broke. [:D] As I tell my wife, I didn't pay too much; just bought a bit early.

    Disciple- welcome to the ranks of crufflers (C&R FFL) Couple of things for you to do: Send a SIGNED IN INK copy of your license to some of the wholesalers with a note introducing yourself, and asking that your license be kept on file. You will usually get their catalog mailings. Southern Ohio Gun is a good one to start with. You can look around their website in the meantime. DO NOT sign the original license- only copies thereof. Second, get a bound volume- a stitched notebook- to keep a record of your acquistions and disposals. Required of FFL holders. Third- if you have not already been there- visit cruffler.com. Civiliansoldier: Take a look at cruffler.com. Yes, a C&R covers non NFA weapons that are 50 yrs old or older- or newer weapons that are on the BATFE C&R list- like all Colt Woodsmen, regardless of age. DO NOT get a C&R if you are planning to "engage in the business" of buying and selling for a living. It IS OK to sell an occasional gun to improve your collection- but not to be making a living at it. And yeah, it has just been settled where your spare cash is going now! But it IS a lot of fun. One note- I live in a small rural community- I DID visit my local Postmaster with a copy of my license, and explained that as a FFL holder, I would be recieving firearms thru the mail now and then. She wsa very laid back, thanked me for stopping by, said she had a few others like me, and it was no problem, but letting her know was nice. Oh yeah, I also look after my mailman at Christmas.
