The BATF also has a free CD-ROM that has a program for the forms.

Sorry but it seems odd to me that you've went through the process of obtaining an FFL but really don't seem to understand the details of the firearms business. There is no faster way to get federal "help" than to screw up even a single detail involving a firearms transaction. Maybe I'm being critical, but the above quote (in fact this whole thread) just doesn't seem representative of any FFL dealer I've ever known. If you truly are an FFL holder - learn fast or you're in for serious difficulties...

I posses the C&R license (normally called an 03 C&R) but want to get my dealers license set up before I retire. Running from my home (seperate building on my property) and I have to maintain the bound book and keep 4473's on all my transactions between other dealers/collectors.

You need to be up to speed on all of this before selling your first firearm...

Just friendly advice.

OldMan, I'm about to start the application process myself and I've been advised to get the 07 license because it is the same process and allows manufacturing, which is required to assemble AR-15's, etc. If you decide to upgrade later it is a big hassle that you can avoid by doing it now.

I've been a licensed collector for ten years now. Looking to upgrade when this latest renewal comes due (two more years). working on getting the shop together so I'll meet the requirements for the business/store front.
