finally applied for c&r

[Shevchenko]

I'm guessing there's no way to "track" these applications right? Unless I'm blind and missed the eForm for it. Is the wait time on these an eternity like most things? I'm sure I messed something up (probably the fingerprint card, first time 'rolling my own prints' )

 

[tgs679]

No prints needed for 03 C&R. Mine came back within a few weeks.

[IPSC_DRL]

I recently renewed and was surprised at how quickly it came back.


Good luck.

Renewal was less than 2 weeks for me
Just over 3 weeks when I first applied.

 

[daekken]

Mine earlier this year was two or three weeks.

renewal? hell, they just wait for the check to clear....

 

[Shevchenko]

not a renewal

I let my C&R expire several years back after having it for 10+ years. Reason #1 was to stop spending money that should be spent on diapers and clothes and shit. Reason #2 was to have less exposure to .gov.
The first few guns I bought with it were a Mosin 91/30 ($99), Yugo SKS ($225) and a East German Makarov ($325)

Probably be in your mailbox in 30 days or less.

 

[gruby254]

This one is really quick. I had to get a new one due to address change and it was a few days. Renewal is quick too

 

[sjohnston0311]

Mine was a lot quicker than I expected it to be. Maybe a month or so after the check was cashed.

 

[Welder1]

My first was was received in less than 2 weeks. renewals have been 3-4 weeks

 

[HorizontalHunter]

My renewal was stamped received 12/30/22 and the credit card was charged in mid January. I still haven’t received it yet but they offered to send me a letter so I could still use the expired one.

I called just to make sure it didn’t get lost in the mail and they said that is was “still in processing.” She said that they were running 60 days.

My initial app was only a few weeks.

finally.
now what?

I don't sign or date the original. Photocopy, sign/fill out the photocopies when sending to a remote.

And make sure to get a bound book, if you haven't already. I've used this one myself:

View: https://www.amazon.com/Curio-Relic-Bound-Collectors-Entry/dp/B01CAT38KC/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=c%26r+bound+book&qid=1652127894&sprefix=c%26r+bo%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-2

 

[daekken]

East German Makarov ($325)

That was my second on my first license.

The first on my current C&R (I let them expire to keep old transactions out of scope) is my Webley revolver.

finally.
now what?

First, delete the image- it has your name and address.

Get a bound book from Amazon. Do not sign the original license. Make ten photocopies of it. Scan a signed photocopy and email it to several dealers that sell what you want, tell them it’s a copy for their files. That way you can order more easily later.

Welcome to the next level of the hobby.
I use the same book (a second book) for my personal weapons as well. It makes it easy two keep all the info together.

Same here, didn't really have much of a benefit to it for me and then the audit with the ATF inspector didn't sit to well either. It was cool to have a couple of rifles delivered right to the house though. I think I got a Remington 03', a K98 and a K31 on my C&R, I still have my BB somewhere.

 

[kerryman71]

Sent in my application for a first time C&R on 11 May and received my license today. What are the chances my Form 1 for an SBR is approved just as quickly?!

my form 1 took 6 days if I recall correctly

 

[kerryman71]

my form 1 took 6 days if I recall correctly

I efiled mine and mailed the prints and cover letter 31 May. Tracking showed they received it 6 June.

OMG.... I thought my 23 days in 2019 was a record! Worse part of the whole process was that I submitted 2 Form 1's and one took 23 days and the other took 10 months with 3 revisions by 3 separate agents. That was when I demanded to speak to a supervisor and told her that I was being asked to do something that (1) I did not have to do on the other Form 1 and (2) the first agent had agreed that I did not have to do (before he went on leave) to which the supervisor answered "Yes we allow our agents the leeway to apply individual interpretations to the statutes so one agent may ask for something the other did not". Which I guess is a polite way of saying "I work for the Federal Government I do what I want. If you don't like it tough shit."
