C&R Eligiable Rifles and Pistols

Alf, I double checked with the guy at work, he confirmed that it is on the ATF website and the site also says  eligible fire arms include, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, the guns on the list.

Probably read the early and bogus version of my post Tom.  I've corrected my erroneous statements and concur with your friend.  I posted the link to the ATF web site and the quote.  Here it is again:

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.

I guess I'm having difficulty believing the ATF would be so lenient. 

Shoot this opens up even more "vistas".

My C&R expired in Oct and I didn't renew it as I need to slow down on my purchases.
I think I'm still going through withdrawal. Does anyone have a cure?

I've got to do my part to help David.   Must buy up all C&R's before he sees them.


Alf <--  Can I roll this mistake over to 2011?  I've already made too many this year.

Sorry Alf, I just went to the end of the thread and wrote, But Hey, it was 2:45 AM, give me a break  
The problem with the 50 year old rule is that you need to verify by serial number that the specific item was made before 1959. Many sellers do not want to be bothered with the extra work.

No need to apologize, Tom.  It was I who posted before I had all the facts.

On a model that's on the cusp, I can understand the reluctance, but something from WWI or WWII should be pretty clear.








BAD BAD, Alf.  Already looking at "antique" auctions.

Alf,

Make sure you do NOT sign the original!  Make copies and keep the original in a safe place as dealers have to have an original signature.

I have a list where you can send your license to get on their mailing list (SOG, etc) and even Midway and Cabellas will give you a 10% dealer dealer discount.

Thanks, Haz.   Just encourage me to spend more money that I don't have.








10% you say?

I slowed down on my purchases, but still maintain the license, much like hanging on to my commercial DL. Just in case.

Not to mention it looks good on job apps.   I have my cdl with hazmat, no air brakes    I wish I had gotton air brakes...

Its like a Captain's licence, you can rent whatever boat boat you want, well worth the fees. A CCW is same deal. Even if you never carry, you avoid the wait and have an affirmative defense if you ever get pulled over. Sometimes, the bureacratic BS is worth it.

There are a lot of special edition/commemorative  Oh all 500 Singer 1911 .45ACPs are C&R as well.

My Colt Gold Cup NRA Commemorative is also on the list. That kind of surprised me.  Bill T.
