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.
