Does an M1 Garand purchased from CMP need to be logged into the C+R records? I did not send them my C+R (which did not exist at the time I filled out the forms), but the gun would of course otherwise qualify as a C&R.

YES
Doesn't matter where it comes from.
What about if you owned a CMP Garand and THEN got your C&R? Would you put it into you bound book anyway? I'm in this situation and haven't added it, but am contemplating it just to be safe.
If you purchased the gun without using your C&R license and you did not acquire the gun for your collection, there's nothing in § 923 that says you have to record it in your bound book. Still, I think recording it is the safer way to go to avoid confusion, unless you plan to alter it from it's original configuration.
No, I wouldn't. Who would you enter it as received in from? Yourself?
Just reviewed my response and saw my brain fart. I was thinking FA-10.Fill it in as a "registration", leave the seller info blank.
Everything I've read, in my ATF paperwork and on C&R sites, says that when you are licensed to purchase C&R's, every C&R you purchase must be listed. It is coming to you therefore it must be listed.
Q: I just need to clarify a point.
If I buy a C&R weapon, and I do not use my license to buy it, does it need to be entered into my bound book?
I have seen answers that say yes and no.
A: Only firearms acquired with the license should be on the bound book.
IF you have a C&R licence any C&R firearm you buy with or without the licence must be entered into the bound book. Any C&R firearm you sell while you have a C&R licence even if it was owned before you had you C&R, must still be entered into your bound book as going out.
Very odd as the text in the C+R book I received does not distinguish between purchases made with or without the license. It simply states when an acquisition of a C+R eligible gun is made it must be logged.
I may scope this someday; that isn't enough of a modification to make it not a C&R, is it?
Prepper said:What's the worst that can happen if I get it wrong and the ATF reviews my inventory? Would they just tell me the correct thing to do, then I'd do it, and that'd be that? Or, would I be surrounded by 200 guys in black uniforms and tanks a short time later, like they would if I didn't pay a $5 tax?
The license doesn't allow you to 'use' the license to buy anything or not, you are the licensee and it is your actions that are licensed - all the time....not just when you think you should 'use' your license.

Better safe than sorry.

Well, I guess we can agree to disagree....even if you are wrong !
I make a log of all my firearms purchases PERIOD!
But, I could just plan on modifying it and just not get around to it for a while, right? Then, it would be OK not to log it?
I'm willing to log it as long as doing do accidentally when I shouldn't have doesn't get me in any kind of trouble.
I would say so because then he doesn't have a C&R item anymore.
