curio and relic license question?

I just got the application to get this license. if i am only going to sell to(or buy) for family and friends that have the right to own a gun (no criminals,) will this permit allow it? the main reason i want one is to buy old war rifles and ammo for them cheap for myself, but i have others i know that have old rifles that would love to get ammo for them cheap. any input would be great…. also, for an FFL, would i have to sell them to others, like buy guns and sell them to those that can legally own them in order to have one? i would love to just get them online for myself, but i’m not sure if that is allowed.

Do you need an FFL to purchase/own/use a .50BMG rifle and/or ammo?

For a state such as Iowa, which doesn’t have any of the tight gun restrictions many of the more heavily populated states along the coastal time zones have, i was wondering what it takes to get a rifle chambered in .50BMG for a person with enough money for one. A friend told me you could put a .50BMG upper onto an ar15 lower, with it remaining classified as an AR15. But those uppers look to cost as much as the Vulcan Arms .50BMG, in the 00 price range, so i see no reason other than dodging laws to get the conversion instead of a dedicated rifle.

So if i went to my local privately owned gun shop, could i have them order me a .50BMG? Or is it a class 3 weapon? Could i just get the ammo, or is the ammo also subject to needing a license to purchase?

Does www.fastfire.biz actually sell automatic bullet-firing guns?

www.fastfire.biz had an ad in the back of a magazine of Shotgun News i picked up the other day, advertising that they sold a wide variety of full auto guns chambered in .25acp (like a Browning Baby) that apparently would be mailed to the door of anyone over 18 years old. I looked through their site, and at first it looked like this was all just airsoft guns, but it doesn’t mention airsoft anywhere, only .25 (and .25acp specifically in a few places) which is not airsoft caliber. So am i to understand this site would allow an 18 year old to order a full auto .25acp UZI with silencer for 0 after you add ammo, and legally do whatever they want with it? I mean sure .25acp is not a very lethal round, about like a .22short, but still, an automatic firearm is still an automatic firearm, so how is this not a huge federal crime to be selling automatic handguns to people under 21 with no FFL license requirement on the shipping?

Why did i post this in hunting? Well i’ve tried posting gun questions in general outdoors with very little result compared to the hunting section (where all the gun guys browse). I admit i believe the Hunting section should be just hunting, but i also believe it is the most appropriate area currently for gun questions, until they create a seperate "shooting sports" group in outdoors for something to cover target shooting, paintball and airsoft, and everything else that currently has to answer under Hunting although it really shouldn’t.

- Sig 556 Battle Rifle (pt.1) an AK47- AR-15 Mutt

Built for speed, longevity, and simplicity, this weapon now rivals current top battle/survival rifles. Changing out some factory to aftermarket parts saved front-heavy weight, reduced buttstock sound, improved grip and toughened up the frail factory magazines. Magpul CTR mil-spec stock and pmag magazine, and 551 handguards.
