How to Get a C&R License

Curio and Relics (C&R's) are firearms of interest to collectors or firearms over 50 years old (such as Mausers, Mosin Nagants, etc.) An individual may apply for a C&R collector's license from the BATF. This license allows an individual to purchase and receive C&R eligible firearms shipped directly to their home though mail order, or pick them up, without completing the background checks through an FFL holder. The license is good for three years and has a fee of $30.00. This license also entitles you to receive discounts on any merchandise purchased through companies such as Brownells, Midway USA and others. When registering with these and other sites online just inform them that you have a C&R and you may find other discounts available.

The following Internet links provide you with the forms needed and explain the simple procedure:

Request C&R application form 5310.16 7CR here: http://www.atf.gov/forms/dcof/

Download Alien Compliance form 5330.20 here if applicable: http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5330-20.pdf

The information is also available by calling the BATF at 404-417-2750 or 866-662-2750 or at [email protected]

A C&R license does NOT permit an individual to "deal" in firearms.

Re: How to Obtain a C&R License(FFL03)

Here is a link to all of the current ATF Forms for firearms, FFL's and records management. The form you would need for a C&R is the 5310.16 7CR.

http://www.atf.gov/forms/firearms/

Once you go to that page and click the appropriate link, it will bring you to a notice page that says the form is unavailable in an online format. Click the blue link to the Distribution Center Order Form page, fill in your name and address on the top, then scroll through the right hand column and click next to the form you are requesting, then click add, enter the quantity you wish to recieve and then click submit. It's usually recommended to order at least 2 forms in case you make an error on the first form, you have a back up form just in case.

The link to the Distribution Center Order Form page is http://www.atf.gov/forms/dcof/

Some helpful info for changing your address on your C&R Thanks to Zer0DazE

Address change forms can be downloaded from here

These can be mailed in, but the last two times I have done that they were "lost".
The ladies at the BATF suggested faxing them. The fax number is on the bottom of the form.

The change of address forms were both processed that day, and mailed the next.

So when you move...
-download and fill out the form
-print and fax
-call the next day to confirm they received it
-check mail in 3-5 days
-order more guns
