C&R Eligiable Rifles and Pistols

FQ13 who is sadder, older and wiser and knows that there is no such thing as free in this world.

One time I tried to reduce the basic rules of life down to a dozen cute acronyms.  This is one of them.

NFL  -   No Free Lunch

I'm just wondering, what does it take for a gun to be a C&R?

I know there is a age factor, but what else?




PS yes I know I could go to the ATF site and fight out, but I'm bored.

FQ, in an earlier thread Deepwater made the comment that Egyptian's were the worst scam artists in the world, His exact words were "even if they give you something free they are screwing you somehow".

Also, Heinlein had something similar, TANSTAAFL, There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, It was the motto of a deep space habitat in "The Cat who Walks Through Walls"

Here you go, Tab.   It was on the first page, but I'll gladly repost it.    The 50 year rule doesn't require a special ruling, but all other guns you have to submit paper work explaining why it would fit in categories 2 &3.  Most of the limited edition guns from the major manufacturers are listed.  Like say the '94 Winchester John Wayne, ec.

1.) Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas
thereof;
2.) Firearms which are certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum which exhibits
firearms to be curios or relics of museum interest; and
3.) Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are
novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event. Proof of
qualification of a particular firearm under this category may be established by evidence of present value
and evidence that like firearms are not available except as collector’s items, or that the value of like
firearms available in ordinary commercial channels is substantially less.
