J. NFA curio firearms and relics
Under federal law, curios or relics are defined in 27 CFR § 478.11
as “firearms which are of special interest to collectors by reason
of some quality other than is associated with firearms intended
for sporting use or as offensive or defensive weapons.” Persons
who collect curios or relics may do so with a special collector’s
license, although one is not required. The impact of an NFA item
being classified as a curio or relic, however, is that it allows the
item to be transferred interstate to persons possessing a collector’s
license. The collector’s license does not allow the individual to
deal in curios or relics, nor does it allow the collector to obtain
other firearms interstate as those transactions still require an FFL.
See 27 CFR § 478.93.
