A month would be nice.
I have no idea what they look into for this FFL. I was thinking that if it is anything like a CHL it might help that some of the work would already be done for them.
Then again,I'm clueless on what is involved.
At $30,$10 a year,I see it paying for itself really fast.
Been looking at a few sites for a Mosin Nagant 91/30.
Mine took a month about two years ago. A CHL makes no difference as it is state-issued; heck my Federally-granted security clearance didn't speed things up. But they turn applications pretty quick and I have found a C&R to be great to have!

I use mine about as much as Ranger60. That being said, the discounts alone make it well worth the money
Fred:
A little off topic, but a little advice. I own a Lee Single Stage and Lee Dies in 3 calibers and love them. I have been looking at the turret press just so I can buy a couple of eextre turrets and put each set of dies on a turret so I dont have to re-adjust each time I switch calibers. In my research, I have found the following:
1) The kit you are buying has the lee scale in it. From my experience and reviewers here: Lee Safety Magnetic Powder Scale 100 Grain Capacity - MidwayUSA It is pretty sucky.
2) The press you are looking it is rated well, however there are still some people who have problems with it whereas the "Classic Turret" has very few complaints: Lee Classic 4 Hole Turret Press - MidwayUSA
3) The kit you are looking at has the Lee Auto Disk powder system. Again, that one is rated ok, but people seem to be happier with the Pro model: Lee Pro Auto-Disk Powder Measure - MidwayUSA
So I can't argue with the value of the kit, but you **MIGHT** be better off with a kit like this:
https://kempfgunshop.com//index.php...facturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=41
Note that it INCLUDES a set of dies and has a $12 upgrade to the PRO auto disk.
Edit: And I should probably point out that I think an even better value is the Lee Pro 1000. Comes with the Pro Auto Disk, etc., but note it has a few issues:
1) It doesnt do rifle ammo >.223. (I will probably do rifle ammo in my single stage anyway)
2) People are not as happy with it as the classic turret as it is finiky and the manual that comes with it supposedly sucks. (I am a pretty good tinkerer, plus there are lots of videos by lee and on youtube to help fine tune it)
3) It only has room for 3 dies and only comes with a 3 die set. So no factory crimp die or room to add one. (Many say it is not needed, and I think I will de-prime/resize on my single and just flare, seat, and crimp on it)

Thanks for checking Bithabus.I didn't really think that such items would have much of a discount.
Rum Runner I had been researching this site and Google about different presses. The Lee Classic kept coming to the top for the type I am interested in.I already had that Kempf Kit bookmarked and kept going back to it.
Late last night I took your recommendation and went ahead and ordered that kit with the upgrade, in .45 ACP.
I just about have my son ready to order the same kit.
Now for my C&R FFL to come in.
