How and why to get your C&R License.....

[Guest 70below]

I've attached a link to a good page I saw which may answer a lot of questions regarding why and how to get your C&R license.

Seemed to be pretty well written and may help out those of you who have been considering getting your license.

How to get a C&R License - TFRWiki

Thanks! I ordered my packet of application forms this morning.

[Guest 70below]

I've saved probably 10x my fee just in the savings from different vendors, it made me wish I had gotten it years ago, even if I never planned on buying a c&r gun.

[Guest PapaB]

Thanks for the link, it had a lot of good info. I got a kick out of the website being based in the UK.

[Guest 70below]

I thought that was pretty funny myself.

[TripleDigitRide]

Yep, there are great savings to be had with your C&R FFL. As cheap and easy as it is to obtain, you can't go wrong.

will a C&R let you get Garands from CMP shipped direct?

[Guest 70below]

You don't need to have a C&R license to have firearms shipped direct from CMP.

[broylz]

just assumed it was an interstate firearms transfer.

[Guest 70below]

CMP is exempt, they basically do the transfer and background check when you become a member.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Thanks for the link!

It is, but CMP was created by an act of Congress. They don’t play by the same rules everyone else does. Even in California.

The south store is in Anniston, Alabama and is worth the trip. You get to pick out what you want instead of the luck of the draw.

Here's the site I used:

Collecting and Shooting the Military Surplus Rifle (2006) - Surplusrifle.com

It's a bit outdated but most of the info is still good.

thanks for the info. im thinking about getting a Garand to keep my M1A Scout company

I read the C&R post but I have a question, as a C&R seller what checks or paperwork are you required to do besides the "book" on who you're selling to or is it like a face to face gun show deal? And I assume this gives the ATF access to your home at their discretion to inspect .

C&R is not a license for selling guns. You are responsible for logging the gun and keeping track of any transactions. You can’t do a background check because you don’t have the ability to. You can sell and ship to other C&R holders. If the person does not have a C&R it is like any other firearm.

No, having a C&R does not open your home to a surprise inspection by the ATF. They can make an appointment to check on you or your book, but I have never heard of them doing so with a C&R holder.

Actually, surprisingly, it happened a friend of the family recently. He's kinda the one that got me interested in getting my C&R license. Of course, he had everything in order and it was just a brief visit, but apparently it happens on occasion.

Nope, no surprise inspections. It must be scheduled. And your bound book is your only required documentation. Everything else is performed as normal. No background checks, no paperwork. Just bear in mind the bound book is an official document and it has to be filled out accordingly with the info of who you bought or sold the firearm to.

Alright, someone help me. I want to get this right.

On the signature line, there is a field for Title. What is that?

Thanks

[broylz]
