I keep my records on an Xcell file and print it out once in a while (keeping a copy in my vault).
In one case, when I get the whim to buy a big 5 C&R at lunch, I don't have to waste time doing the background check.
Also, I get a suprisingly good discount at Brownells for being a C&R. I did an order for AR parts (not C&R) that would have cost me $109. When they added the discount after me submitting the order, it ended up costing me $66. You can send in a copy of the license to all of the importers, set up accounts and get new C&Rs as they come available. Century Arms, AIM, GunsAmerica, Markov, Cruffle, ect....
Im some cases, only one of them will get a C&R in. Like AIM getting the Enfield #2A. I ordered one last week!
Another bonus is having access to parts that a normal person wouldn't. I was looking for a band on my Kar 88 (1892 build date) at Numrich. It was never in stock, untill I set up an account. Then suddenly, there it was!
Make sure you ask for FFL discounts though, otherwise, they may not set you up as a FFL dealer (as they call you). You are not a dealer, but for some reason they like to set you up as one. I can get bulk discounts from C.A.I. on C&Rs because of the way I am set up.
One thing, when you sell a C&R, you have to document who it went to....
Sorry this was so long winded. :mrgreen:
MuzzleFlash, I had no idea we could use the license for the transfer fee thing. Could you please explain how that worked in another post? You have my attention now. [postal]
