EVERY SHOOTER Should Get a C&R FFL!

[bodybagsryan]

C&R stands for Cash Relinquished (to sellers). Love it.

I've been reading through info on the C&R license and was wondering how the dealer pricing works with dealers with online ordering forms. Are the discounts visible before you order? Do you have to order by phone? When midway has an email subscriber sale the prices are visible before you purchase. Also how much of a discount is typical from dealers like brownells and midway?
Thanks

Once you send them a copy of your C&R they'll tie it to your account. You'll need to login to see the discounts. I paid for my C&R with my first order!

The discounts from Midway seem to range from 0% to about 25%, but are typically 5-10%.

Very good. I was hoping it worked the same way.
Thanks

My C&R just arrived today - 4 weeks even from date of mailing.

Hmmm - what's first on the list ...

 

[dwarven1]

I'd vote for an Sistema Colt Modelo 1927... it's basically an exact 1911A1 clone. And runs about $300.

I called them after 3 weeks to check the status and they just said it is still being processed. I'm going on over 4 weeks now. I would really like to get it for those discounts I hear about especially from Midway.

Random thought: C&R FFL must stand for Crackers and Ramen FFL since that's all you can afford once you get it.

 

[rag]

What's the number to call to check on the status?
I'm going on 2 months now!

 

[Scully714]

Mine took a few days over a month...they may be inundated with apps or something

 

[Scully714]

FYI, I still haven't received ANY books. Anyone else get theres?

 

[Junglerott]

Nope. I got my license around the same tima as you did too.

 

[jdubois]

Yes, I got my books about two weeks after I got my license. So your books should be here any day.

You can call 866-662-2750 to check on the status or other inquiries. It is a general customer service line for FFLs.

exactly what information must be entered into this "bound book"?

exactly what information must be entered into this "bound book"?

You must log all receipts and dispositions of C&R guns into and out of your collection. For specifics, see here. Section (f) is what you're interested in.

 

[Fsorrent]

i disposition filled out if it is sold??

 

[jdubois]

i disposition filled out if it is sold??

Sold, loaned, sent to gunsmith for repair, or otherwise out of your possession for any period of time.

Well I finally got around to ordering my C&R FFL application.

Thanks to everyone here for getting me drooling over the thought of what awaits me when I get it!

I got the package from the ATF a few weeks ago and lost it among the mass of paper on my desk. I found it today along with a survey card and sent it out in todays mail so now the wait is on!!

 

[THUNDERCHIEF]

I did my app and sent it out on Monday.

Does CMP discount their firearms or ammo to C&R holders?

 

[mg42doc]

Got my app today, filled it out and it'll go out tomorrow...



now the wait..

No.

Got my renewal in the mail yesterday. Time flies when you're having fun

Do you have to fill out everything again or is it a simpler way of doing it?

I can't remember what the application for a new license was like. This is no worse than a 4473. The renewal is one sheet, double sided but hardly anything on one side. There is another citizenship cert though.

My books came today!!!

Dwarven1: I've been looking around for one of them, mostly just for the frame & slide (not sure if it's a good starting point for a project gun, but I figure at $300 it's worth a try). I haven't found any on the usual sites (SOG, Century, etc). Looks like Cruffler and L.C. used to be the main sources, but L.C. doesn't appear to sell them anymore, and Cruffler seems to be long gone. Are you aware of any dealers which still sell them?

Thanks much
Chris

I may have spoken too soon, as I'm not getting any response back from cruffler.

I'd called the phone # on the Cruffler/JLD page today, and the guy who'd answered said that they're not doing business anymore. It looks like this co. has bought JLD http://www.ptr91.com/ - they do still sell some Argentine surplus, but it's just Mausers and bolts.

Looks like I've missed the boat on yet another C&R deal :'(

I just spoke to the woman at the license processing place. She said it's taking up to 90 days for C&Rs now. [sad2] I mailed mine out on the 9th (of February), check was cashed on the 13th of February. The wait is on.
