Along with my C&R license there was a large packet of stuff which included an "Open letter to all recently Federally Licensed collectors of C&R firearms." In that letter it states "Enter into the A/D all Curios and Relics Acquired after receipt of the collectors license"
That settles it for me.

That does seem pretty cut-and-dried, doesn't it? Seems to answer both the "items owned prior to license" and "items bought not through interstate commerce" questions. After is after, and all means all.

Well, I'm really PO'd with myself at the moment. Standing here talking with a friend at work, I suddenly realized I forgot to initial the boxes on the forms before I mailed them. That's what I get for trying to do something at midnight instead of waiting til the next day. So I guess they will just send it back, or what?
Well, got my app back from BATFE yesterday, made the necessary corrections (I also forgot to sign the section authorizing them to charge my card ), and sent it back in. Not sure how much good it is going to do me anytime soon though, the wife lost her job this week, so it's belt-tightening time at our house. Oh well, maybe we will be back in the swing by the time it gets here.

I'm not sure about the sling. Seems newer than the rifle to me, but still fairly old. The rifle appears to have gone through the upgrade process at some point, as the magazine cut-off has been removed as you can see in the second and last images. The action is very free and smooth on the gun, and the firing pin spring feels like it has good tension on it. Bore is VERY dirty, but doesn't look corroded. Should clean up with some elbow grease. I'm quite jealous.

Well, here it is. Needs a little cleaning up, but I think it's a nice find.

He's picking it up in about 3 hours. He's sitting within arm's reach of me right now. Should I take his ID and snag it for myself?
-
Not sporterized, he says he sees no rust or corrosion, stock has no more dings and whatnot than you would expect in a 90+ year old battle rifle. Where would all the S/N's be? I told him look at barrel receiver, bolt and the mag, he says he didn't see anything on the mag.

Hey guys. A buddy of mine called me earlier saying he had run across an Enfield, SHT LE MKIII, 1916 date stamp in really good shape for $189 out the door. Based on the cursory amount of research I did while on the phone with him, it looks like a good price to me. I told him if he can get them to hold it for him (which they said they would) he should do a little more checking. What do you guys think?

Oh, the CZ 82 is DEFINITELY on my list. Saw the thread recently where the guy had refinished one and put some wood grips on it. That is one sexy firearm.

Getting a C&R may be a bad thing. I've only had mine a few days and I just ordered my first pistol. A Romanian Tokarev and 400 rounds of 7.62 x 25. Now I am looking for a long gun. This could be dangerous to my finances, but it sure is fun

Is that the one that looks sort of like a 1911? If so, that would be something I would be interested in, too. Where did you get it?
-
That being said I believe you are better off erring on the side of too much information, I went ahead and logged mine in but made notation that these were owned prior to C&R acquisition .
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was planning on. I figure it's the safest approach, in the unlikely event Our Beloved ATF decides to pay a visit.

Well, sent off my app in the mail this morning. I guess the waiting begins...

Thanks, bkelm. The second one was the only one holding me up anyway. Still, it would be nice to know the answer to the other question. I guess it would be safer to enter them than to have them not documented if Uncle Sam decided to pay a visit.

Hey guys. I'm new to this whole thing, but been reading a lot here lately about the C&R FFL. I've always sort of been into history, so the idea of collecting these types of weapons has a lot of appeal to me. I already have a 1943 Mauser P-38 my grandfather captured in WWII, and recently purchased a Mosin Nagant 91/30 (that's the prerequisite, right? ). So my question is twofold:
1. If I got a C&R, would these weapons be exempt from being entered into the bound book, since I owned them prior to being licensed?
2. How do I determine who the CLEO is for my county? Is it the sheriff or the Chief of Police?
Thanks guys. Look forward to replies.
