Dropped the envelopes in the mail today...

[tv1217]

Got the C&R app forms in the mail yesterday(yeah, they sent the right ones this time ), filled em out and found some forever stamps in my dresser. Form for ATF and CLEO sent to their respective addresses. What kind of timing can I expect nowadays?

Prepare to be broke.

Don't worry about the time length, just enjoy your last days of having extra money laying around.

This is already an issue, I really should have reconsidered, eh?

 

[tv1217]

Wow, account charged for $30 already, this pretty much means I'm approved I guess(not that I had doubts)

Now I wonder how long I gotta wait.

 

[Clay]

nope, thats not how the BATFE works.

They cash your check as soon as they receive it. The approval process comes next.

That actually makes sense, because the government never does anything that makes sense.



Does that make sense?

It makes perfect sense...To them.

Why wouldn't they take your money without making a decision first?

I dropped mine in the mail today ...lets hope i filled them out right...

 

[Clay]

Is this all thats required for the C&R? fill out two forms, send one to BATFE w/ check, and the other to your local CLEO? Ive got the forms a couple months back, just never got to serious about it, but if thats it, I might have to fill some out!

My C&R license came about 3 weeks after I sent the forms in. It was actually very quick compared to what I have read in the past. Do remember to get your bound book ready to go and to make copies of your license to sign as soon as it comes in. Don Not Sign The Original. You will have to go through the hassle to get another license. I recommend the first couple places to send your C&R is Aim Surplus and J&G Sales. M91/30s for around $80 plus shipping is a deal you cannot turn down. Plus sometimes Aim Surplus has 1 cent shipping. They also occasionally get in M1 Carbines and Garands which are C&R eligible. J&G has, Mausers, Swiss K-31s, Enfield #4, and CZ-82 Makarovs. Other places have other military surplus plus some very cool military .22 trainers. You might want to always have a some money on hand just in case these places have sales or rare rifles come in.

There is nothing like the thrill of having UPS or Fed Ex dropping a gun off right at your door. Come join the C&R license group I created called Crufflers.

Perfectly fine. There are printable bound book sheets a few places on the internet or you can do what I did and just buy one from brownells that is already set up and has the laws already printed in the front.

If anybody cares, I'm about 4 weeks out and still waiting. I read it usually takes about 4-6 so I'm hoping soon.

 

[Clay]

thanks for the update. Ive got my forms filled out, just still debating on if I want to do it or not.

 

[tv1217]

Out of fear for the well being of your bank account?

 

[Clay]

lol, thats the big one!

Plus it opens you up to some inspections, and requirements that weren't there before. I have nothing to hide, and know the BATFE wont come over with out being announced first (unless you're a bad boy), but still, its more things to keep track of and screw up.

but the bank account is still the big one!

You get yours yet? I'm still waiting. Probably gonna call when I get the time.
