Just for the record, I sent for the application in late March, and it arrived after about 3 weeks. I sent it out right away; my credit card was charged only 5 or 6 days later, and the license arrived in yesterday's mail. Now to decide what to buy first...I've been collecting for decades, but there are still plenty of holes to be filled in my collection!

It would help if you posted what state you are in, as it seems some states take different amount of time to issue the license and each state has their own agent who does all the paperwork it seems. You can buy up all that is left out there now. I let my license lapse back in February after having it for two go arounds. Running out of space to store them and not much neat coming into the country the last couple of years. I still have several, no close to a dozen, rifles that I still have to see if they even shoot! Good luck with the license. Make copies and sign the copies, not the original, and mail it to all the big distributors so you have it on file with them and ordering then is just a matter of picking up the phone and having your plastic money card handy. Careful with that plastic money card, as they have been known to melt down with milsurp purchases! Curt

From what I've read, my total wait of 2 months from the ordering of the form to the receipt of the license is fairly quick. I actually don't anticipate buying that much from the big distributors such as Century, J&G, etc. The golden days of imports seem to be pretty much over, unfortunately. I'll be using my license primarily for the purchase of WW2 and earlier military pistols. Thank you for the advice in regards to copies, I'm making them as I type this! I'll mail off copies to the various distributors right away. Who knows, maybe things will start looking up again...

My understanding is that only acquisitions made using my FFL need to be recorded in it, not any firearms that I acquired previous to the issuance of the FFL. On the other hand, I must record all C&R firearms that I dispose of regardless of whether or not they were acquired before or after I received my FFL. Is that correct? Thanks, Doug

I was also impressed by the solid thump it gave hitting the 100 yard berm, that little bullet is moving. I liked it enough to immediately order more ammo and a couple of extra mags, I have a feeling this C&R thing will get expensive.
