A bit of a dupe from the general forum but all of us with C&R FFLs and that love the CMP rifles should look at the text of the bill as it appears that it may drastically change how many of us use to do things.
"The legislation authorizes a police chief to deny a Firearm Identification Card for a rifle or shotgun based on a suitability standard. It extends federal restrictions for firearm acquisition to the state level and denies convicted felons the right to acquire an FID card."
Read the bold as all transactions must go through a dealer FFL

I figured we could use this as our musings on the text once it comes out to keep us informed as a subgroup.
