I may be wrong, but a "curio" just means it can be sent to a C&R license holder; doesn't change the NFA classification. My understanding is that any shoulder-stocked weapon (meaning, manufactured that way, regardless of present configuration) with barrels under 18" is an AOW ("any other weapon") because it is a "short-barreled rifle." An old Colt cap-and-ball pistol (or any pistol, like a broom-handle mauser or luger w/shoulder-stock case) fitted to accept a shoulder-stock is not an SBR, because it was made as a pistol. Don't think too hard about it, it'll just make your head hurt.

The other complication is state laws, which vary on ownership of NFA stuff.

It's a lot more than the shipping Jeff.Yes, a C&R licensee can ship and receive, but the devil is in the definition of what a Curio or Relic actually is.
Maybe this will shed some light on it:
