| (no avatar) | You have it right. Allthough some states a c&r doesnot work. We are dealers at Riverside Service and will ship to C&R license if it is legal to. In our adds we will sttae if C7R is eligable. It is worth it to a seller to do this as a sale can be more likley. |

| (no avatar) | nhmoose--Thanks for the reply. Wish all sellers would list in ads if it is a C&R. I'm in no way telling anyone how to run their business--farming is hard enough--but I'm sure they would make a little extra by listing them C&Rs if they qualify. I know the laws are sometimes confusing and vary according to state. Here in Michigan you have to get a purchase permit and have the handgun safety inspected for modern handguns. Now local authorities are telling me same applys for antique and C&R handguns. Trying to find an answer to this. Anyhow thanks again--Greg |

| (no avatar) | If you go to http://www.atf.gov/ then click on firearms at the top of the page, then look to the right there is a list the ATF puts up of what's a legal C&R item, they're all listed here. It has to do with age mostly but there are exceptions. Like the comemeratives and centinial model guns may be a first run new wepon, and the dealers have ask them to be put on the C&R list. Basicly the C&R is for collectors. |

| (no avatar) | Just my thoughts on C&R licenses. We are annually inspected by ATF and are aware of their zero tolerance for honest mistakes. Unless I'm 100% positive its on the list we won't list C&R eligible. I don't have books on the date of mfr. for all firearms, so sometimes the C&R has educated me. The few extra bucks are not worth my livelihood. Thank You! |

| (no avatar) | SPORTSMANSSUPPLY--Thanks for comments. Like I said before I would in no way begin to tell someone how to run their business. Also know that its hard to find info and dates for some firearms--especially some of the off brands. Just wanted to get some thoughts and comments on this. Thanks--Greg |

| (no avatar) | I believe the biggest difficulty with the Curio and Relic definition of a firearm lies with the "Curio" aspect. The "Relic" characteristic addresses the age. That is pretty easy to define. The "Curio" characteristic must meet the finer definition of why this firearm is unusual from others within its age and class. Both characteristics stand alone, however. A Relic does not need to be a Curio to qualify as a Curio and Relic. Also, not all Curios need to be Relics. Is there an expert out there who can confirm this? |

| (no avatar) | I'll take another stab at this and try to help some folks. Lord knows I'm no scholar on the subject. Your right ODOTER, The Relic part refers to age. The Curio as described in the dictionary means "Something unusual -- perhaps worthy of collecting". In order to qualify as a curio under the license the manufactures have to patition the feds to have a gun listed as a curio. Most of the guns under this catagory are centennial, commeratives, special and limited additions and so on. As complete a list as there is you can find on www.atf.gov under firearms, then to the right there's a list and on that list you'll see curios and relics. This is supposed to be all, but consider it's the feds and there always behing. |
