    I have a C&R license and was wondering why some dealers are reluctant to send a gun to a FFL - C&R license Holder and require a FFL only.
    Had a dealer who told me he got burnt by a C&R but wouldn't tell me how. Then he backed out of a offer he had taken on a gun, after a FFL and Checks were sent.
    Of all the guns I have purchased on line I have returned one. The gun sent was not the gun advertised, even the wrong caliber. I have sold only three guns in the last 5 years and that was to upgrade guns I have in my collection
    I would just like to know what kind of problems dealers have with C&R buyers.
    A gun does not have to be 50 years old to be a C&R gun. There is a list of guns that the C&R license applies to in the C&R manual on line.

    Does anyone know how much it cost to get a Curio and Relic license? Is it a pain to get?

    For those of you who have them, or dealers who deal with those who have them, or for whomever wants to join in the discussion, is it worth getting a C&R license?

    Do you have to keep everything you acquire using a C&R separate from what you already own?

    I just wonder if it's more trouble than it's worth, that's all?

    In advance, thanks for your input/help. [:)]

    I am just starting to think about getting a C&R license. Where would I get the paper work? How do I get started? I live in the Peoples Republic of New York State, have a concealed carry pistol permit(so I've been through the FBI background check once already), have never been it trouble or arrested. How difficult is it to get this license? What is the cost initially, yearly? Thanks in advance for any information.

    I am amazed at the number of GB sellers who will not accept a C&R license for an 80 or 90 year old luger or other C&R eligible gun. Don't they realize they are denying a lot of potential buyers?
    I also wonder about the people who insist handguns be shipped FFL to FFL. That needlessly raises the shipping costs.

    Can anyone tell me more about the C&R license. Are they possible to get in California? Whats the age limit? How much are they? Thanks alot!

    When they come to get your GUNS, make sure to give them the AMMO first!!!

    I am a little confused about the C&R. What I understood from reading about applying for one, is that if a weapon is C&R qualified and you have a C&R License it can be shipped to you. I was talking to an FFL dealer and he said that is not the case, that still had to have dealer transfer done. Thoughts and opinions please...

    Looking at getting a C&R license. Seems alot of the stuff I buy would fall into that category. Any opinions good or bad on having one? I plan on doing it from my house for my personal collection as per the requirements. Thanks.

    Sorry to say that is old news. Many FFLs don't know about C&Rs but sometimes will sell you the gun if you show them on-line where it is listed. Not all, but some. It is worth asking.

    FFL to FFL shipment of handguns can be a lot cheaper than an individual shipping a handgun. A FFL can send them thru the mail while an individual may only ship a handgun overnight UPS or FEDEX.

    Here is my problem with C&R and shipping a handgun:

    I recently learned that I cannot legally ship a handgun to a C&R FFL via the USPS. Gotta use UPS or FedEx. Very expensive next day air service is required for either, I have to drive 30 miles for UPS, and the counter clerks often don't understand what they are allowed to do. I can't take the chance of being turned away by some ignorant and rude counter clerk and then being unable to ship a gun that is already paid for.

    So, I will ship a long gun to a C&R holder but not a handgun. Sorry.

    Well, have had the same problem (I am a C&R FFL holder) Sometimes the seller does not know what a C&R FFL is, some just can't be bothered (Naw, it uses modern ammo- can't be a Curio & Relic). When a gun went OUT of production in 1941, it is pretty clear cut. But if he says no, I say thank you- and buy from someone else.

    I've heard a few people selling guns say they won't ship to C&R licenses because the shipping is too much... (yes I understand it has to go 'common carrier' air for pistols). But are the sellers not charging the buyer for shipping?? Maybe they're just trying charge flat rate shipping or something [?][?][?] Just doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

    On other hand what nunn says makes a lot of sense. If I don't happen to be here when the ups/fedex truck comes by I'll have to go pick it up. One of those businesses has the local hub about 12 miles from here, the other about 3x as far.

    If its sometime I really want I will go threw the extra hassle of the 3rd (sometimes 4th) people in the loop. But if its only an 'ok' deal or something that I can easier get elsewhere, probably be like 11b6r, say thanks and look someplace else.
