question about terminology

[bassanova]

recently I was on a site that kept refering to c&r lists.I assume they are talking about old guns but what does c&r stand for

"Curio and Relic" - it's a type of limited federal firearm license for collectors. "C&R" refers to guns these licensees can purchase without another dealer's intervention.

Welcome to the Forum.

Curio & Relic. It doesn't have to be old. Certain commemoratives, etc. are classified as C&R.

Curio & Relic.

I'll let somebody else that has a C&R license explain the details...

Thanks for the info, Are they limited to what types of firearms they can sell. Thanks again Bill

Generally 50 years old qualifies a gun to be c&r eligible. Most of the good old S&Ws are or soon will be.

The S&W 41 I bought new has been C&R for two years. What does that make me?
