That doesn't work so well for resizing rifle brass which needs a bit more ummmph behind it. Ahab, Oh dear! I will say if you keep gasoline around for garden tools a pound of powder is no worse. Sebastian,

Ahab,

Oh dear! I will say if you keep gasoline around for garden tools a pound of powder is no worse.

And, hey…how well do we REALLY know anyone?

I've meant to get into that. The problem is, I'm overflowing as it is with tools and such. I really need a house with a basement or garage. Sage advise Earl. I’ve meant to get into that.

Here's what I was told. Since, at the time of the purchase, you were not licensed, You do not need to enter firearms you already have in your collection to your bound book when you become licensed, however you SHOULD keep a separate record of them (not required but a good idea...at least a list of make, model and serial number). If the rifle you sold is still a C&R (meaning, unmodified from it's original configuration), when you sell, since you are required by the ATF to record all purchases AND dispositions, you must enter it into your bound book in order to record the sale. If you can't remember specifically where you got it, (some of mine I bought from private individuals and do not have names and addresses), I would use "purchased prior to licensing" or something to that effect. ANY time you sell a firearm, it is a good idea to have the information on whom you sold it to (signed bills of sale work nicely). 5 years from now, when the FBI comes knocking and says "we traced a crime gun back to you...what did you do with it" it would be a good idea to have a better answer than "I sold it to some guy 5 years ago".
