You can directly receive any firearm that cannot be readily concealed on your person (a long gun, basically) that is both a federally defined curio or relic and is 50 years old or older. In particular, that means that firearms that are on the C&R list, but less than 50 years old can't be shipped directly to you. Interestingly, you can receive these guns, not because you have a C&R license, but because California specifically exempts those guns from its "gotta go through an 01FFL" requirement. Of course, having an 03FFL makes it possible to receive them across state lines.

You cannot directly receive a handgun or concealable weapon. It's got to go through an 01FFL. You can only purchase one handgun per month unless you have a certificate of eligibility along with your C&R (still, though, only through an 01FFL.) You still have to do the DROS and wait 10 days. If you have not CoE, you'll need the background check, too.

Antiques appear to have no restrictions.

Your best bet is to contact the California Department of Justice if you want to have absolute peace of mind.
