Richard,

You would normally get a renewal packge in the mail 1-2 months before your old one expires. But I think you can download the form as a pdf-file from the BATF web site as well. (OOps...looks like you cannot download them anymore...but you can call them and have them mailed to you...).

Here is the link :

I was traveling and lost track of the date of my expiration and had to go through the 2.5 months to get a new one issued. But I recall folks on the Forum going through the renewal route reporting 3-4 weeks only.

I keep my wet-signed copies of my C&R's in my gun show binder (3-ring), and I keep my original, un-signed one in a document safe.

My C&R "Bound Book" is a bound book where the pages cannot be removed without tearing them out of the binding. When my local BATF wanted to see my book and other items about 1.5 years ago, they looked for evidence of any such page removals. My stuff was in order.

I think I got my Bound Book in mail order from a place in Santa Barbara CA named RK Enterprises. It has all the pages with preprinted forms with the correct columns and rows already done.

I see other collectors just use a standard Lab Notebook (pages bound to the binding) but then they have to ink in all the colums, row, header info on each page.
