Sign of the times? C&R Renewal:

tallen702 · Feb 10, 2021

Got my renewal form in the mail today. About a month early vs previous renewals. I'm wondering if they're adding some extra time in there due to extra licensing work with more and more folks jumping on the 03FFL bandwagon and new gun stores popping up? Seemed curious to me.

I sent of my initial C&R application in early December but haven’t heard back yet. It’s kind of fun having a reason to look forward to checking the mail though. One of these days it won’t just be bills and junk mail in there.

Correct, it'll be junk mail and auction invoices for the 30th gun you bought that year. :lol2:

Seriously, it'll ruin your bank statement!

It’s as if you somehow know I already have half a dozen C&R guns bookmarked ... ha

My renewal was in the mail today as well. Expires in May.

Or they are taking in to account how long the mail is taking these days. Agency I work for has been trying to do that lately in practice and when possible in policy.

If your C&R should happen to expire before you get renewal done, you can apply for a new one. BTW, according to BATFE, you are not required to keep your bound book, nor turn it in to ATF, on the expiration of your license.

Mine was due to expire in March, got the renewal notice back in January. Sent 21 Jan, got the renewed license in the mail yesterday.

That's certainly good to know. I've never had mine be late (I fill out the renewal the day it comes in the mail and send it back out) but glad to know the turnaround for the renewal is sub one month at the moment.

As for the mail taking a long time, tell me about it! I've got a Type 38 firing pin spring that is lost somewhere between the Capitol Heights facility and my local Post Office. Left CHSF on the 5th. No activity on tracking since. The Type 38 firing pin I also had coming to me made in 3 days with no problems. The concentric-circle marked early Type 38 that they were to go to was supposed to arrive today, but still hasn't made it out of the Indiana sorting facility. I thought they were supposed to be making up ground now with Christmas being over.....

Ish. A lot of old priority mail stuff to make their way through. Sometimes I am getting some priority stuff in 2-3 days. But they aren’t guaranteeing it’ll get to you in 2-3 days yet. First class and other classes of mail hasn’t come even close to catching up. Sure, some newer stuff might make it to you “on time”. Most first class mail I am getting still seems delayed a week or two based on postmarks.

I let my last one expire and applied for a new one a number of months later to be able to negate my old bound book as mentioned above.
I'm not doing it this next time cause it expires in this current administration and i'm not going to risk any executive orders getting in the way.

Hmmm, my renewal just showed and it doesn't expire for almost 3 months. In the mail now. No chance I am going to let it expire now.
