I don't believe the issue is whether or not you make money, but whether or not you're engaging in the business of buying an selling guns. You're suggesting moving 15 guns through your license - guns in which you've (at least here) expressed no personal interest in, or history of collecting, and I think that puts this outside the purpose of the C&R license.

OTOH, you could acquire them as an established collection, then some "reasonable" time later, decide it's not what your interested in collecting.

Given today's political climate, it's not a situation I'd want to put to the test.

All the best,
Rob
