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. You will see in our catalog and advertising small tags next to certain guns that state “C&R Eligible”. These indicate firearms that can be sent directly to C&R collectors, but when ordered by non-licensed individuals, still must be sent to an FFL holder.

We at J&G Sales encourage everyone interested to consider obtaining a C&R license. The following Internet links provide you with the forms needed and explain the simple procedure:

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