Thanks! What’s a cruffler?

[tet68]

A cruffler is someone who has a Federal Curio and Relic firearms license, to collect firearms that fall within a
specific category. They must be over fifty years old or be
judged a Curio or Relic by the ATF.
Having a C&R license lets you buy direct from arms suppliers and have the UPS etc, deliver them right to your door.
It's the ATF’s secret plan to arm America.
Seriously, As a former Marine I had quite an interest in combat arms and being able to collect at wholesale makes it worth while.
Usually they arrive packed in grease and dirt but cleaning them up is part of the fun and they still work.

I have some that are a hundred years old but look almost like new and are very accurate too.
Only problem is they are so cheap you end up with lots of them and run out of space.

You can apply for $30 and a license is good for three years,
you must keep a Bound Record of all acquisitions and disposals and are subject to inspection by the ATF. Just look up cruffler on Google. Right now I mainly collect rifles from the Finnish Winter War / Continuation War period, that is the struggle against the Soviet Union before and during WW II. Probably more than you wanted to know but...
