Just Got My 03 FFL & CMP Garand Arrive Tomorrow!

Hope your not spending too much for this. CMP headspaces and test fires these rifles before they sell them.

No, I'm not spending very much. I'm just having them clean and grease it for me, since the internals of the rifle came really dry. Also, they agreed to go through the dis-assembly/re-assembly with me since I am new to Garands.

She's good looking - Hope you'll enjoy her - Did you order ammo too?

Yes, I ordered something like 3 spam cans, but they haven't shipped yet. Go figure.

My ammo order took approx. 2.5 months to ship -

After 03 FFL is all you need next is a Buisness liscense to operate and either a Brick & morter facility or Home/shop/garage ?

ya not mad at you guys just at CMP, i ordered a correct HRA
It was sent like a week or two before xmas, they sent the DBU Jan 15th

This was their response on 5/19/09

It looks like you will fall in between , longer than 120 days but not as long as 180 days. There are still enough orders ahead of you that it may be another couple of weeks before the sales office will get to yours but I don't think it will another two months. You can contact us again at the end of the month if you haven't heard any thing by then and I will look again to see where your name is on the backorder list.

By then you're not going to want it anymore -

No, a 03 FFL is just for Collector of Curio & Relics. It specifically forbids you from running a business. For that, you need a 01 FFL.

About how long did it take you to get your 03 FFL? I have the paperwork and I'm filling it out but I just was curious on about how long it takes currently...

I sent my paperwork in on the 13th and received it on the 28th, so about two weeks for me. Very quick turnaround.

Now, actually getting the paperwork in the first place was a whole different story: I think it took about six weeks from my initial order. But I had heard of folks waiting for three to four months to get the forms, so I consider myself fairly lucky.
