You can see that a collector of firearms or a hobbyist is not required to obtain a license or maintain records of sales.

Wrong, C&R license holders must maintain a bound book just like other federal firearms license holders, listing
date aquired,type, serial number also disposal and if
to a private citizen that persons drivers license number.
These records must be available to the ATF weather you are
actively collecting or not.

I believe that you have mistaken an ability for a requirement. You do not need a C&R license to be a collector. A C&R license is available to make collecting a little easier, it is not a requirement. Most collectors of firearms do not have a C&R license.

I think you are thinking of a licensed collector, such as one that may own a full auto!!
