Mr. Sellers,
Thanks again for your inquiry.
Sorry for the delay in answering your questions that were posed to our Columbus FD mailbox last week. I wanted to run the questions by our HQ Specialists to ensure that I provided correct responses. I received a response from them today.
1.) You are not required to enter any of the firearms in the log that you owned prior to becoming a licensee.
2.) Again, no. You are not required to enter any of these firearms acquired prior to being licensed into the log should you decide to sell any of them. Only those that you are obtaining with your C&R license would you need to enter.
Of course we always encourage all transfer information to be recorded in the event of a firearm trace request. We have a handy publication that we encourage our FFL holders to provide to their nonlicensed customers for that purpose.

Please contact me if you have additional questions.
Hello,
I have recently been issued a C&R FFL and after reviewing the regulations to the best of my ability and your FAQ section on the web site I still have a few questions regarding the bound book.
1: 27 CFR 478.125(f) requires me to keep of bound book of C&R transactions. Do C&R eligible firearms I acquired BEFORE obtaining the C&R FFL also have to be entered in this bound book. Some of my firearms I've had for over 40 years and at this point cannot remember exactly where or when I acquired them.
2: If I dispose of a C&R eligible firearm acquired before I obtained a C&R FFL does the disposition need recorded in the bound book?
Thank you for your assistance. If these questions have already been answered in an interpretation letter please direct me to that letter as I could not find it.
