Is it worth it to bother getting a C&R from atf? Any thoughts?

no because you still have to have an ffl transfer your purchases. We can not directly receive guns to our homes in nj

The ONLY advantage would be to get the FFL pricing on Brownells stuff..however NJSP seems to have somewhat of a sore spot when it comes to C&R 03FFL's and try to make problems for holders.

I tried - I don't think it's very worthwhile. After I applied a BATFE agent visited to explain the limitations of a C&R in NJ. One big advantage, not needing to use an FFL for an out-of-state purchase on C&R rifles, doesn't exist in NJ. You may still get some "C&R prices from dealers, so that could be worth it to you. I'm not sure how much those discounts amount to. PLUS, you of course need to keep detailed records of all your purchases and sales.

 

My two cents.

I thought with a C&R , per atf no nics needed.

The NJ One Gun a Month has an exception for people registered as collectors. Wouldnt having a C&R make you an official collector?

I believe that is correct..however you would STILL have to do transfers through a regular 01FFL, and pay the transfer fees and such.

The NJSP does not recognize the law that the NJ Legislatures make. Lt. Schlueter has told people that they will prosecute them for OGAM violations, even for C&R guns. Of course, he was acting on the direction of what the former AG has stated. I do not know where the new AG stands.

None of us do..I dont ever remember dealing with this one as AUSA, so i dont know if he's a :Typical" one or a decent one...if he's one of Christie's circle however, experience tells me he probably isnt one of the latter.

A nics is still required for someone with a C&R

After having one for the better part of a decade, I moved back to NJ because of work. Learned how to navigate the process a bit better from advice here, on my own, and a couple of mutual learning experiences for all parties in the permitting process. One thing that became quickly clear is that my 03FFL should be given up, but then learned that doing collector's exemptions aren't at all bad provided they're legit. Those that review the exemption at NJSP can be thorough too - I've been called about in-production guns on the exemption, but letting them know they came with acquiring the collection cleared it up. An 01FFL willing to hold onto a quantity of firearms for you a must, and better yet if you have one willing to negotiate a fair price for a group transfer.

Even in states where the C&R license can be had with no restrictions on anything. There are some FFL dealers that will absolutely refuse the C&R even though the firearm is clearly a C&R item. They have a policy of a not accepting a C&R and require NICS/4473.

And several of the FFL dealers are in Kentucky.
