---+ Curio And Relic Licenses

_This article is skeletal and needs to be fleshed out more_

C&R is a broad classification which covers all the types of guns which you can purchase with a Type 03 Federal Firearms License issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.  In most states, [[CurioAndRelicLicense][C&R license]] holders don't have as much paperwork or transfer fees to deal with as normal purchasers when purchasing military surplus firearms.  The C&R license does not, however, result in any different treatment when dealing with non-C&R weapons.

Most of the C&R weapons presently for sale are [[MilSurp][Milsurp]]s salvaged from a rusty or fiery death in some UN disarmament treaty.

---++ Obtaining your C&R License
You must order the form from the ATF, which will be mailed to your address.  There is no charge for this service.  At the ATF's [[http://www.atf.treas.gov/dcof/index.htm][forms order page]], you will need to request "F7CR 5310.16 Application for License (Collector of Curios and Relics) Under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, Firearms".  When your form arrives, follow the instructions to complete it.

---++ Logging Acquisitions
A C&R holder has no obligation to log the acquisition or disposition of non-C&R firearms.  Refer to the article on [[RefFFLLogBook][FFL Logbooks]] for instructions on obtaining and filling out your log book.

---++ Fringe Benefits of a C&R License
Many retailers offer discounts to C&R licensees.  Check [[CurioAndRelicDiscounters][this article]] for a non-exhaustive list.
