How long for C&R renewal?

**GTO-Guy** · May 20th, 2007, 02:39 PM

Anybody have a C&R license and had it renewed after the first three years? How long did it take to get it? I'm up to 6 weeks and counting.

That is odd that it is taking over 6 weeks to renew, considering it only took me 3 weeks to get my initial C&R. Did you call the ATF to find out the status of your renewal? If not, you might want to give them a call tomorrow.

Took about two weeks to get the renewal.

I don't know why it may be taking so long, but if the rules for a C&R are the same as for a class1 you can still use it (as long as you can prove that you did the renewal paperwork) until the new one comes.

I don't know about renewal, but It's been 4 weeks since I sent in the application for my initial license and I still haven't heard anything. I've talked to a few guys who said they got theirs in 2 or 3 weeks. They say they're surprised that it's taking so long.
I'm getting anxious because I have my eye on a gun I've been wanting for quite a while, I finally found it for what I think is a reasonable price, now I'm afraid they might be sold out before I get my license.

GTO-Guy
Don't be discouraged, I was wondering what was taking so long for a new license.
I posted in response to yours today stating that it seems to be taking a long tome to get my C&R license.
How about that?! It was in the mail today.

Now I'm itching to use it.
Faxed a copy to AIMSurplus today, will be calling in an order soon.
Hope you get yours soon, the anticipation is brutal.

File this under my own stupid fault folder.

Good news was mail from the ATF. Yeah!

Bad news was I sent it in after expiration so I can't use the renewal form, have to fill out another new form.

Of course, it took about 6-7 weeks for them to tell me that! Well, new app in the mail and the wait begins again. In the meantime I bought an XD9- SC and love it. C&Rs will have to wait.
