C&R Countdown

[texfrazer]

After waiting far too long deciding to get my C&R, I've finally filled out the paperwork.

My papers were mailed today.

The countdown is on to see how long it will take.

Any suggestions on how to help the wifey understand why we need to officially collect curios?

My first excuse is that this will keep me from picking up additional scuba equipment off of th'bay. She wasn't sure this was a good trade, but we'll see if we can work on that.

Dealer discounts at midway and brownells among others.

No TICS on C&R guns.

Been bout 10 days on my app...

That's worth the license alone. I've had mine for just over 3 years (I just renewed in Jan) and I've never bought a firearm with it. Though I've probably saved $2-300 on Midway alone.

You could always say you are getting them as an investment. If you put the money in the bank you will be lucky to draw 1-2% interest. The guns probably would gain in value more than you could draw in interest. Any way that is my excuse.

Hmm, "but honey, 5000 rounds of 7.65x54 is just like money in the bank...."

I'll try it, but I'm not sure she'll buy it.

That's good to know about midway and brownells. Thanks!

let's see some of my k98's i bought a few years ago for $79 are worth around $400 now .better return than my money in the bank.

Mailed my forms on March 1. Bank showed debit March 7. Hope green envelope comes soon.

A pending payment from the ATF has shown up, posting on 3/21. That's only 4 business days from the mailout. Talk about fast work. Of course, we'll see how long it takes for the package(s) to arrive, but it sure gets me excited!

[Capbyrd]

They cash the checks/charge the cards as soon as they open the package. Its everything after that that takes forever!

[texfrazer]

Aw, and here I thought I was going to have to start prepping the wife about receiving packages in the mail sometime soon.

[Capbyrd]

It still shouldnt be too long. I think mine took less than 6 weeks.

[tntnixon]

After hearing all the "I got mine in 20 days" comments, still wonerding where mine is after 31 days.

[texfrazer]

Well, it's only been 21 days since I mailed mine, so I figure I've still got about 3 weeks to go. It's hard being patient!

[texfrazer]

A quick update: Still no love from BATFE.

I wonder if all the budget wrangling has slowed down the approval process?

[texfrazer]

WOOHOO!!!!

I'm doing the happy dance! It came yesterday afternoon. Of course with the crazy weather, I had to wait until today to start axing and e-mailing copies.

Thus far, I've sent them to SOG, AIM and Midway. Besides Brownells, are there any other recommendations for places to send it off to?

[Sidinman]

Maybe Classic Arms, I've never dealt with them but I know their name comes up alot around here. And congrats to you.

[texfrazer]

Thanks!

[ttocswob]

Some others that I've bought stuff from, not necessarily a recommendation:

Centerfire Systems

Century Arms

J & G Sales

Royal Tiger Imports

[texfrazer]

Excellent! The more choices, the more options and the more 'splainin' to the wife!

[Garufa]

Have you ordered a Mosin yet?

[texfrazer]

One is on the way! Just a standard round one, but I'm stoked!
