You may purchase a restricted as a collector with no range membership. However this has it's own set of problems that accompany it . You must provide a letter with your application for collectors status for each firearm stating what makes it a collectible piece . This is easy enough , Back when i bought my first collector revolver everything was hand written as i didn't have a computer. Every five years the CFO/CFP held up my renewal until all the letters were re-submitted for my collector firearms. It turned out to be far easier and more fun just to join a range and shoot them .
