C&R licensing question for ya

[jdigga221]

Ok, so I live in Boston but am moving to a "green friendly" town in September. I already have LE connections in the town and from what I understand it wont be too hard for me to finally get the much coveted MG license.

That said, I keep hearing that it really helps if you already have the CR license. So, two questions:

1. Since C&R guns arent really my thing, I would only be getting it in the event that it helps with the MG license. Does anyone know if this is in fact true. If so, do I actually need to buy some C&R guns or is it the fact that i have the license what matters?

2. If the answer to # 1 is yes, how do I go about getting the C&R license?

Thanks,

Joe

1. I have heard the same thing. C&R also lets you get discounts at Midway USA, Brownell's etc.

Take a look at this. The C&R us the easiest way as you need to prove you are a collector or an instructor. "To be issued one at all, you either need to be an MSP instructor or a "bonafide collector" which according to CMRs having an FFL03 is "sufficient to establish".

If you don't want to buy anything C&R, that's cool. MGL says possession of a C&R is de-facto proof that you're a collector of firearms, and guess what you need to be to get a machine gun license? I got mine just so I could get an MG license, it's $30 well-spent.

EDIT: beaten to it by a few seconds!

Thanks for the info. I'll get started on the C&R paperwork pronto. Any idea how long it takes?

I just got mine in a about 6 weeks... Best of luck! I hope you don't have to sell that sweet ride to buy some mg's...

Got mine last month in about 20 days.

Mine took about 60 days because they "lost" one of my forms and only told me when I called THEM.

MG license is a different story. Sine the world has gone full-retard, MA licensing delays are worse than ever. I was told 10-12 weeks when I applied last month
