I looked into the cost of being a FFL. There are 9 choices. one is colector with is only 30 bucks for 3 years. Would this allow me to have ammo shipped to my house rather than to a FFL. I reload so this is mainly for getting rimfire ammo. Or do you have to choose Dealer which is $300 for 3 years thus not worth it to me for what I would want it for. Just wondering if anyone else looked into this option. to get around how no one will ship to NY other than a FFL now. There used to be a few places that would BUT not anymore.

Regular FFL is a PIA to get. Curio and Relic might allow ammo. Either way you open your house to AFT interference.
C & R is a no go for ammo shipments.

I would say getting an FGL for Tim fire ammo is not worth it at all. Drove to a neighboring state and buy a shit ton once or twice per year and be done with it. Don’t forget NYS has many rules to be an FFL now and you need paid monitored security systems, lock boxes, safes, and the NYS scan inspect you now as well. I’d personally pay and FFL to transfer it before getting an FFL these days.
No it doesn't. I've had a C&R for >30 years and not just the same one: I've had to get new ones from lapses, address changes, and sometimes just to purge records: With a C&R you are to destroy your bound book with the expiration (non renewal) of the Licenses, and while the nearest ATF Office is an hour away, they have never once contacted me, and back to their inspecting your home, that just isn't happening, it's NOT the same as having any of the other Licenses.
I don't know if ammo suppliers will ship to C&R in NYS in compliance with the new Laws, additionally 03/C&R Cannot conduct a NICS Check.
I guess I need more research of I could use it to get ammo shipped to me directly. if so it would be worth the 10 bucks a year I THINK it cost 30 for 3 years. . I assume C&R means the collector type of license. I was hoping someone else has done it to let me know if its possible.
Ammo companies won’t ship to C&Rs.
You need to get an 01. Before you do that you need to get a business going. You will have to check your local zoning laws. You will need to prove to the ATF that you are going to engage in the business of firearms or Gunsmithing for them to approve you.

There is an option to be a seller of ammo in NYS but not sure you’ll be able to buy pallets of ammo. I doubt a distributor will sell you 5,000 rounds of .22 lr only.

True. I still see hardware stores with only ammo and black powder guns.
