How long for your C&R renewal

[robspmc]

Hey all,

Just a quick question, how long from the mail date did you recieve your renewed C&R. Mine expired 4-1 and I drug my feet and didn't mail off my renewal until 3-15. Now I'm hopeing to get it back in time to order a M1 carbine by the 30th.

Look forward to your response,
Rob

Sorry, can't answer that question, but on the same note, does it take a long time for a change of address? I just remembered that I sent mine in last November when I moved and haven't heard anything since.

I guess I better call somebody.

I sent my renewal in back in early February, the ATF charged my card on 2-16-07, and I still haven't received my new license yet.

I got my renewal inside 2 weeks.

Last time I renewed, it didn't come in 7weeks. I finally called them, and they said it had been sent a couple of weeks prior. The lady confirmed my address, and said she would put a new one in the mail. I got it in 3 days. You might want to give them a call.

I sent my renewal in at the end of February and still haven't received it. Mine expired 1 April.

Now let me see if I have this straight. You send in $35 and wait 2-3 months to get your new 03 FFL license. Then you have to wait 1-2 weeks for the vendor to get your license in their system. Then when you renew it at the end of the year, you have to wait another 2-3 months for your renewal. So at most you can only use the license 8-9 months of the year. Plus you have to spend $140 each year just to break even, assuming a 25% discount at your favorite retailer. Is it really worth the hassle and cost?

It's good for 3 years. I've mostly used mine for non retail transactions out of state and some internet gun auction purchases. I've only bought one gun from a retailer (AIM)

Looks like I've gotta make a call.

My C&R has paid for itself many times over. With that said I've spent more money on rifles and ammo just to use the c&r. Lesson= if you get a c&r you will have to spend money to make it worth the investment. make sure you have room in your budget to buy all the new "toys" you come across online.

...and in your safe!

A problem I am facing right now!

I received the renewed license yesterday the 9th.
