If you let your C&R expire, you can sell all your collection. You can sell to private parties in your state (most states) and your can sell out of state by using an FFL. This suggests that while you hold a C&R, you should be able to sell any or all by going through a regular FFL, doesn't it? I don't know, I am asking as a question. This might be helpful if one wanted to get out of collecting "A" by selling them all and collect "B" instead. This might be a safer technique.

It seems that there should be a distinction between selling to another collector or private party versus selling to (or through) a regular FFL.

Has anyone asked ATF about this.
