C&R Shotgun

Yankee Clipper
Is a 51 year old pump shotgun "automatically" a C&R? I'm grateful for any C&R info. along these lines.

    AS PER THE INFO POSTED LAST WEEK VIA THE BATFE. ANY GUN 50 YEARS OLD IS A C&R ITEM.

    I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.

    I ask this as a general question. The FAQ section of the "Firearms, Curios or Relics List" indicates that firearms that "Have been manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas thereof" are C&R.

    Yes, but.....military firearms must be in their "original issue configuration" to be considered C&Rs.

    The answer to your original question is "yes". However sometime proving the gun is 50 years old is a problem. Some individuals and even dealers are very cautious in this area and will only sell across state lines to another dealer.

    Hello Neal... I would be highly interested in knowing precisely where or what document you are getting your information concerning military firearms having different C&R requirements than do the standard sporting firearms... I have not been able to find anything in the BATFE's documentation to support that assertion.

    Bert, see Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide (ATF P5300.4) page 119, under 8. OPERATIONS BY FEDERALLY LICENSED FIREARMS COLLECTORS, c. Licensed Collector's Activities:

    "However, ATF has recognized only assembled firearms as curios or relics. Moreover, ATF's classification of surplus military firearms as curios or relics has extended only to those firearms in their original military configuration."

    So, a "tanker" Winchester M1 rifle, or a Winchester "trench" shotgun with the bayonet lug cut off, or an M1 carbine with a sporter stock, or even an M1 carbine receiver all would require an FFL to transfer, as none of them would be in "original military configuration."
