I don't think it applies to anything that you did not buy with the license. I think your personal guns bought from an ffl with a form filled out, or from an individual face to face, is alright to sell like any other personal rifle, depending on your state laws. But your licensed purchased guns gotta have the form filled out by the buyer to the best of my knowledge, so too bad for them, they must not want the guns too badly. You will just keep the records yourself anyway. I was told when I cancelled my C&R to keep my records, I think they officially say 20 years, but I don't have to send them in to the gov't like a regular FFL. That was what I was told to do on a call to the BATFE. I used my license very little anyways. Was a waste of time for me. All I was getting from the distributers was junk rifles buying in the blind. Now I buy at shows so I can cherry pick or pass on the things.
