FFL License
Can a private individual acquire a FFL license? I know you can acquire a C&r license, but can you get a FFl license? Basically I am asking because I saw some good deals on a couple websites for AK-47's and other firearms. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: FFL License
Yes, but as Knight wrote, FFL's are to establish a gun selling business. The BATF is discouraging the individuals who buy and sell out of their homes although I'm sure there's a number of folks who only have "virtual" gunshops.
Several years ago (pre Clinton), a number of folks got their FFL's to get better prices for their own collections...those days are gone.
Just do a search (Goggle or other) for "How to obtain a Federal Firearms License". You'll get quite a few links.
Then you can determine if it's worthwhile doing so. I think you'll find getting an FFL to get better prices on guns that aren't for resale isn't worth it.

Re: FFL License
Although you can buy personal firearms with a 01 FFL, its main purpose is for operating a business. You must prove to the ATF that you are going into business by obtaining the PA State license, the permission to operate a business from the city, town or township, obtaining a sales tax number and setting up the business (however you like be it a sole proprietership, LLC, Corp, etc.). If you can't prove this they probably aren't going to ok the license.
A C&R license is used by those who collect Curios and/or Relics, not modern firearms (although there are modern firearms that are classed curios because they are limited edition, special builds, or something else.) The ATF publishes a complete C&R book listing the C&R firearms that a C&R licensee can purchase. A C&R licensee also has to keep an Aquisition and Disposition book, but they aren't inspected the same as an 01 FFL.Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member

Re: FFL License
IMO.. You need to find a local dealer, who will work with you in obtaining "dealer Pricing". I was lucky enough to find a local fellow.. Although I have made my own deals, he just handles the transfers for me...
