Every time you acquire a C&R firearm you must enter the manufacturer, model, serial number, type and caliber of the firearm. You must also note the date and the name and address of the person or business from whom you purchased the firearm. When you sell a C&R firearm from your collection you must enter the date you sold it, and the name and identification, such as a driver's license number, of the person to whom you sold the firearm.
