C&R licenses

Paperwork is minimal, just log in a bound book what C & R items you get using the license. The cost is $30 for three years. Seeing you live in one of the free States, you should be able to acquire both C & R pistols and C & R long guns in interstate commerce with a 03 C & R FFL.
However, not all dealers accept a C & R and they are no obligation to do so either. I have read comments in forums of C & R license holders sometimes have problems with using their license to buy a C & R firearm through Gunbroker from a dealer.
But there are places that do accept C & R licenses like Century and Centerfire Systems all the time.
Other than that tidbit, that might be the only other drawback with a C & R license, the other one being that the license is only good for C & R firearms.
Go to the BATFE site download the forms for the 03 C & R FFL license, and also fill out the separate citizenship certification (should be on there) . And you have to make a copy of the application and mail it to your local chief LEO ( like a Sheriff or Police Chief).

The paperwork is pretty minimal. The application is roughly the same amount of paperwork as filling out a single 4473. After that, it's just a few things to record in your bound book for each purchase or sale; far, far less than filling out a 4473 each time.
I don't have one yet, my application just went in this week.

+1 to dealer discounts. One decent purchase from midway or brownells and the C&R will pay for itself. Plus $70 mosins, $200 SMLEs, $270 SKS's are all too good to pass up.

Definitely worth it. Mine has paid for itself several times over and I've only had it a little over a year.

The only drawback is that it makes it way too easy to buy guns!

Worth it but ONLY if you dedicate the time to actually read and fully understand the quite thick book of regs that come with that C/R----otherwise you're rolling the dice on whether or not you are in the clear on all things. You have to know the lawful limits of what that little C/R permits you to do, and own.
Not hard, just takes the time and desire to do so.
As said oodles of liottle perks and discounts and at days end you ALMOST can do 50% of what ANYONE could do with 0 paperwork prior to GCA 1968. DON'T ponder this fact too long or you'll cry for what we've let happen fror 50 years in this country and are just now starting to roll back to some sanity. Worth it, get it, just do your homework and be sensible.

El Mariachi: My dad has one just like that. Great gun and very accurate. That was actually the first gun I ever disassembled as a kid - and I couldn't get it back together . My dad wasn't really that mad (he wasn't too mechanically inclined so he couldn't reassemble it either), but I put all the parts in a plastic bag and tied it to the trigger guard. Years later after I had internet access I was able to get a schematic showing how it went back together. Went back over there, bag of parts was still tied to it, and I was able to finally reassemble the gun and get it working again .

MG, that sounds like the time I decided that I'd strip down & clean my Dad's 6/0 Penn reel.
When I was 12. Whooops, sorry Dad.....
