I didn't mean just based on what it stands for. The atf page is vague in its information.

Perhaps it fits in the first or 3rd category...but in the "how to obtain classification" paragraph we have...
"Firearms automatically attain C&R status when they are 50 years old. Any firearm that is at least 50 years old, and in its original configuration, would qualify as a C&R firearm. It is not necessary for such firearms to be listed in ATF's C&R list. Therefore, ATF does not generally list firearms in the C&R publication by virtue of their age."
This is why I stated I'd be nervous taking possession under a c&relic license.
