I stand corrected...Kinda! After doing a lot of research I could not find a direct quote from the BATF on the subject. The closest I did find was that if you owned a C&R firearm before you got the license, or if one "aged" itself to C&R, you only have to enter it in your bound book if and when you sell it. You log it in as "from personal collection" and log it out to the buyer. I still haven't found the exact quote on the purchase of one without your license, but I would think it would be handled the same way.
The other odd thing is that if your license expires, and you don't renew it, you can just throw the bound book away! BATF doesn't want it, unlike 01 dealers who have to turn theirs in.
