Every shooter should get a C&R if they want to be visited by the ATF anytime unannounced. No thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
They can audit your collection once a year; but it cannot be unannounced, and it cannot be at your house if you do not wish it to be.

My C&R FFL just came today: exactly 1 month to the day I sent out the application.
I'll need to get on sending that out.
debit card got hit....
At the beginning to the thread we are told to order the following application forms:
F 7CR and F 5310.16, which are both described on the atf.gov site as
Application for License (Collector of Curios and Relics) Under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, Firearms.
What is the difference if any between the two? Both have the other number in parentheses on the form line.
I believe it is. If you received a green application look on the bottom right hand corner of the first page it should say ATF Form 7CR (5310.16) Revised May 2005.

Sounds like typical government workings.
WAAAA HOOOO....Came in today. Just the licence
When did you apply for it?
He sent it in 12/05, debit card was hit on 1/14. Considering the holidays, it's not a terrible wait.
My check cleared 1/14, I should expect it soon?
Looks like yours should come in a week or two then
I sent in all my paperwork after christmas (Dec. 27th), Check was cashed the second week in January and just my C&R in the mail on Wednesday. (Feb. 18) Basically - 7 LONG weeks waiting in anticipation. I thought it would never arrive.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
Mine came in!! Someone sell me a Mosin
To get an idea of what can and can not be done with a C&R FFL, please read the following Open Letter to C&R FFLs by the BATFE:
http://www.atf.gov/firearms/011801ffl.htm
Call the local BATFE office and request the C&R FFL application, forms and booklets, or go to the following URL and order them.
http://www.atf.gov/dcof/index.htm
F 5310.16
F 7CR
You can download or order the following pubs (they will be sent to you when you get your C&R FFL anyway):
http://www.atf.gov/pub/index.htm#Firearms
ATF P 5300.11 & Update - C&R List (1972-2003)
ATF P 5300.5 - State Laws and Published Ordinance - 2004
Cost is $30.00/3 years. You need to notify your local Chief that you applied but you do NOT need your local chief's approval!
There ARE record-keeping requirements and BATFE can audit your records, but that is rare unless they are looking for someone/something.
I'll discuss the reasons you should do this in a reply.
