The very same!Isn't that the Special License that allows you to transport military grade weapons without a Labrador Retriever in your car?

They're swamped with W&C, so I imagine collector status applications are slightly lower priority. If you have a HQL, it is usually just a couple of weeks, maybe a little longer right now with the combination of holidays and W&C backlog.
Thanks!I recently got mine done and received only a physical copy in the mail without any other electronic notice - email, website, or otherwise. The 77R portal doesn't have an indicator for Collector's status that I can see.
As to the process of getting it, you're spot on. The only thing I'd add is it has to happen after you have at least one 77R processed. Based on some threads I've found, typically the approval process takes about the 30 days you'd have to wait to purchase your second handgun but after that it's smooth(er) sailing.
2 no matter what without the collectors letter. The way the law is written, 2 at a time, and then a 60 day wait is ONLY supposed to be for things like special sales, collections, estate sales, auctions, and consecutive serial guns. Basically special reasons you are buying two at once. Otherwise it is supposed to be 1 at a time, and then wait 30 days.Sorry to be bumping an old thread (but you guys are so...), I just don't see the point in making a new one if this one has current replies.
Few questions. MSP website says you get a letter, but some have posted they get an email? Which is it and is there any way to verify on MSP website when logged in that you are currently a collector?
So fill out the form, get notarized, mail in and wait? Am I missing anything?
Also, MSP says you can only buy 2 firearms from a store at once, but doesn't specify how many you can get in an estate sale. Is there a limit on private / estate sales?
Thanks all!!!
Mine does not. I have to check the box for the DC letter every time. Never given me a problem though.It autopopulates on your 77r's from now on
So do I understand it correctly as with the letter you can buy as many as you want but still have to wait 7 days for hand guns?2 no matter what without the collectors letter.

But MSP has effectively interpreted this as 2 at once and then 60 day wait is fine.
Now, you CAN buy as many handguns as you want at once. But the FFL can only transfer 1 per 30 or 2 and then 60. Without the letter that is. I am aware some FFLs have done this and are okay holding the others for transfer. I'd imagine most that have to hold guns for a couple of months (or more) are probably going to charge you a little extra.

Does all the rest of your PI auto-populate? That box should be propagated forward each time along with your "Basic Information."Mine does not. I have to check the box for the DC letter every time. Never given me a problem though.
Only some. Like my HQL doesn’t.Does all the rest of your PI auto-populate? That box should be propagated forward each time along with your "Basic Information."
Yes. And actually I think it is two or more handguns in a week or maybe it’s per transaction the FFL has to notify the ATF.Even though the collector's letter removed limitations on the number of fire a Mrs you can purchase at a time, I seem to recall that if you get m ore than two there's a federal notigication involved.
I don't.know if this is correct.
