C&R came in mail...
...now what do i do? It took four weeks from the day they took the money to my door, but the other mailing didnt come in yet. I know i need to get a bound book, and i read that people said they put a letter together and a copy and sent them out to various places. Should i just type up a little form fitted intro letter? What places should i send them out to?
Any really good deals i should jump on? Thanks ahead... |

You have to provide your own bound book. Brownells sells them.
link A form letter is a good idea, but I wouldn't send out a mass mailing. Start with a few places from which you know that want to order. Midway USA offers a discount to C&R holders on everything they sell. |

I never got any info with mine, just the paperwork. ATF takes your money and looks the other way now.
Don't buy a bound book unless you're planning on getting a large amount of firearms. Print out an example page from somewhere, make 5 copies, then put them in a clear-plastic page protector in a 3 ring binder or something. Century Arms is a for sure, if you plan on buying C&R firearms. I got my CZ-82s through AIM Surplus. J&G sales out of Arizona usually has some C&R guns. Civillian Marksman Program usually has things, especially M1s. Empire Arms Sarco Inc etc.... There's a bunch, just look through search engines. |

Hopefully my local LE official will get the forms back to me this week so I can mail my own C&R app. I want to be 100% legal and ready to go once it's been processed. |

There are a couple examples here:

docpadds,
Please tell me you're kidding. I thought the local guy had to complete the couple of lines after the checkoff list. Then he kept a copy of the whole thing for whatever records he decided to maintain. |

You fill that stuff out, send the second copy with a polite cover letter to the local Sheriff/Chief etc saying here it is etc. Other goes to ATF with check and in a few weeks you get back the license if all went well.
I have an 03 at home and an 01 at work and even with the 01 we just had to notify the local Chief that we were setting up. |

Welcome To The Wonderful World..
Of curios and relics, I hope you have a large checking account balance, a low credit card debt and a very understanding spouse. You'll need all three!

Also...DON'T SIGN THE ORIGINAL!!!
Make a bunch of photocopies and sign those. Put the original someplace safe and secure, unsigned. |
