http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting2005/howtogetyourcurionrelicffl03/index.aspI just did what they said to do.
Request the forms (the ATF site is a bit tricky to navigate)
*wait*
Fill the forms out, figure out who the Chief Law Enforcement Officer is.
Send out the forms with $35 or so
*wait*
*wait*
You'll get a bunch of paperwork and books from the ATF
Watch a few sweet C+R deals slip past you.
*wait*
Receive your license in the mail and proceed to go broke.
The best part is that you can use the license to get set up as a dealer at Midway, Brownells, all those places. The discount on your first order will pay for the license.
Some guys don't like it because theoretically the ATF could show up at your door and demand to inspect your gun collection. I mean, they can do that anyways I thought. But now they will, eventually. Supposedly, they can only do it during regular hours, and most of they guys I've talked to scheduled to do it the ATF office, and all they had to do was bring in their logbook.
You should get a 01FFL and start doing transfers and what not. Little extra money, and you already have a business/store front.
