First C&R License Purchase!

[MilsurpDan]

I know a lot of you guys already have C&Rs and CZ82s but this one is special to me as its the first firearm I've bought with my license since I got it. Been wanting that license since I was about 14 when I started collecting and it was a long 7 years to wait but it finally happened. Got this little gem in the mail today from SOG. 1988 vintage CZ82, figured I'd best get one now before the stupidity of our MD overlords takes effect. Paid the extra hand select fee and I think it paid off, no major scratches or chips in the finish. So thanks go to SOG for making the process as smooth as possible

Awesome gun, shot a few magazines off this afternoon and never had a single problem. I'll shoot it some more tomorrow to test its accuracy.

Think I'm itching for a Yugo Tokarev now, so who has the best ones? Classic and SOG have them in stock but SOG's prices are cheaper. Any recommendations?

Very nice 1st C&R ! You'll always remember your first - M39 was mine

Congrats; I picked up my first Mosin today (cherries popping all over) !

Congrats on the CZ-82! I got a Yugo Tokarev from Classic about three months ago, very nice for the money.

It's about time!

Very nice way to begin your C&R experience.

Yes, I just got one too. These are a great buy, but have not shot it yet. Yesterday I picked up some Norinco and Hornady ammo at Clyde's. I also have a shipment of Russian ammo coming in. Buffalo Bore makes some +P Makarov ammo as well.

I got mine from SOG. It's got a few dings and nicks here and there, but looks basically new. It's probably my favorite out of all the C&R pistols I have...

Nice CZ! Just came away from an auction that had both parties frustrated. Seller is from MD and a C&R licensee as am I. Wouldn't go over the border to PA or VA to transfer the gun to me. Stating that logs must be returned to the ATF after the license expires AND that he felt I was skirting the law because the auction ended in 31 July and my license ended on 1 August.

What's the truth here from the ATF? (Sources please)

Where does it say one must turn over their C&R log after the license has expired?

Additionally, what is the handgun magazine limit presently? Thought it was 10. I was told 20 was the limit, although I've never seen a 20-round mag for a pistol.

Thanks for your input.

logs for C&R do not have to be returned to ATF. they can be destroyed after your license expires. see ATF website for details and C&R FAQs:
http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/curios-relics.html

magazine limit is currently 20 rds, but goes down to 10 on Oct. 1st.

Thank you, Doc! Very very much!

Not everyone agrees with that, it does sound like skirting the rules. Although he does not need to turn in his book, a C&R could be audited. Audits are rare but have happened in the past and you should maintain your records for that purpose. Audits could be increased at some point in the future for political reasons. Many people believe in going strictly by the book, to avoid even the appearance of anything questionable. That's understandable.

His option and that's understandable. Win some, lose some. No hard feelings. Not upset with the guy, just upset with the govt that is trying to put the screws to all of us.

Yes, but the entries in your Bound Book are federal, and the law that would be allegedly "skirted" is MD state. The two aren't interrelated.

I believe in going exactly by the book, when it comes to federal law, but don't see the difference between meeting out of state for a sale and going to the same state and buying at a flea market or auction.
