I've seen them but never read those ILHTF C&R threads. Anyway, I just wanted to touch base on the process with someone who's gotten their C&R. I requested Form F 7CR here. I'm then sent this form within the next few weeks(hopefully). I fill it out, include some fingerprints and photos and the $30 fee (i think), send it back and wait another few weeks. Oh yeah, I think I must also notify the police chief of the town where I reside about my C&R intentions. How long does the whole process take? If I wrong on any of this, please correct me. Thanks!

You don't need fingerprints for C&R, just fill out the form.  
Mail one copy to the chief law enforcement officer,
mail the other to ATF w/payment.
Sit back and plan out how fast you're going to max out your
credit card.

My first app took 6-8 weeks.
Depends alot on how active the local ATF office (agent/clerk) feels.

Sending forms out today, 12/28/05.  Will update for payment and receipt of license.





ETA: Credit card charged 1/2/06





ETA:
Doh! I received a letter dated 1/26/06 requesting information. I have
submitted it. This will probably delay it a while longer.





ETA:  HELL YEAH!  Got it 2/25/06

I just got mine a few months back.  Took about 3 months from ordering the application till I had license in hand.

Thanks to cdemarse for the application, I got mine within two months I think.  I want to get a garand with it or tokarev or a cz-52.

I think mine was 45 days.  Aurora's gun ban has some interesting language about "dealers" without any real definition of what they mean or what specific FFL type.  I don't want to be the guy that tests it in court, but a C&R might be argued to be a "dealer" by a lawyer looking for a loophole.  Like I said, I wouldn't bet my own rear on it.  :)

Thank you guys for the info. I also found the list of businesses that are C&R friendly. Very helpful... My license should come right around when my tax return check arrives

Please forgive my ignorance.

If you can get a C&R shipped directly to your home, why would someone get a C&R license?

What are the benefits of getting the C&R license?

Thanks!

In order to get a C&R rifle shipped directly to your home you have to have a FFL 03 which is a C&R license.  You also get dealer pricing at a lot of stores.  Midwayusa and Brownells to name a few.

Still confused.

Is the CMP exempt from this?  A friend order a few garands, and they got shipped right to his house, but he is not an FFL.

No they are not exempt.  Not sure how your friend pulled that off.

CMP can ship direct without a C&R, follow the instruction on their site.  If your ordering a C&R rifle from Aim or another dealer then you need your C&R license to get it shipped to your door.

IIRC, my first C&R app ran about 90 days.

I recouped the $30 cost sveral times over in discounts from Brownells and MidwayUSA.

Might as well add the UPS guy to your Christmas card list.......
