Can anyone in MI with a C&R let me know how buying handguns goes with the purchase permit requirements? Do you just fill yourself out as the seller and purchaser?

Dumb question: What is C & R?

I have a CPL. You are still required to fill out the sale card, and go through the inspection.
A C&R is a type of FFL that allows you to purchase weapons that are either 50 years old, or weapons determined by the ATF to hold most of their value in being a collectible weapon. Having this license allows you to obtain these weapons directly through mail order, auctions, internet, etc. without needing to go through a gun shop.

Try contacting the department where the gun will be registerd with the question. The only time I did it, I brought nothing other than the gun, purchase receipt, and a copy of my C&R. The officer working the desk first told me he was going to confiscate my pistol, indicating I committed an illegal transaction by purchasing a pistol in interstate commerce without a “regular” FFL. However, in the end I filled out a Pistol Sales Record and walked out w/ my pistol w/o being arrested or tasered. I cannot remember if I listed the seller as myself or the out of state company (SOG). I would rather not deal with that individual again. In fact, that is a secondary reason I want to eliminate Pistol Safety Checks. Arguing with a cop in a cop shop and finally telling him “how it is going to go down” is not on my top 100 list of fun things to do. To this day I do not understand why I was hassled.
I contacted the MSP Firearms Records Department after the fact. If I remember correctly the helpful individual I talked with said that a Pistol Sales Record was not really required in this instance, but to just do whatever the local department required.

I bought a broomhandle Mauser barrel on eBay. The broomhandle has the serial # on the barrel, not the frame. I simply assembled the pistol with the new barrel, and took the gun and my eBay invoice down to the sheriff's office and the ladies there gave me no hassle at all, though I now have 2 green cards for one gun, one for the 7.63 barrel and one for the 9mm barrel...

Well, with any luck (or in this case, some money coming in soon) I am going for a CZ82. Seem to have good reports coming in about them, and at $200 they are kinda hard to pass on.
Plus, I gotta use the license soon. Had it for about a month with no purchase yet

If that doesn't work out aimsurplus.com has CZ83s for $200. Seems to be the same gun but in .32 ACP so ammo may be easier to find.

Ya, I'd much rather have the .32, but neither the 83's or CZ70's are C&R.
