Your C&R License allows you to purchase "antique" firearms from many of the same sources your dealer purchases from. Therefore you purchase through the mail and bypass the dealers mark up and fees. There may or may not be a savings by doing this; your dealer my purchase C&R firearms in quantity and get a further discount that he passes on to his customers.

A side benefit of the C&R License is you can register as a FFL Holder with many mail order firms and get a discount on other items beside firearms. Midway USA is a good example. Register your FFL with them and you get a small discount (generally it will cover handling and shipping fees). This may not be much on an individual order, but over the course of a year it adds up.
