Couple C&R questions
Sent in my app. for a C&R about three weeks ago. I have a couple points I want to clarify before I start using it. These are probably dumb questions,but please bear with me.
1. The ATF site says any military weapon(semi-auto) prior to 1946.Does this refer to the design or the individual gun? Example: Say I want to buy a Garand. Can I buy any Garand since it was designed and issued before 1946 or do I have to buy one that was manufactured before 1946? (I don't know that much about Garands but I assume they were still manufactured after '46 since they were in use throughout the Korean War.)
2. Can I use my C&R as a handgun permit on qualifying guns? Example: I'm at a show in my home state. Can I use a copy of my C&R to purchase a qualifying handgun or do I still have to get a permit?
Thanks

Thanks for the information,Mark. In NC you have to have a permit to purchase a handgun.I'll have to check to see if C&R holders are excempt. 0 -
There are a few more wrinkles.
Military firearms must be in their "original issue" configuration in order to be classified as a C&R, even if they are > 50 years old. So, a WWI M1903 Springfield rifle that has a sporter stock is NOT a C&R.
Guns (other than the M1 rifle) whose production began before the 50 year date & continued beyond it are determined to be a C&R based upon when the gun in question was actually made; e.g., the Model 94 Winchester must have its serial # researched. The ATF C&R list has specific exceptions.

Hello I believe if you get a cc permit you can bypass the permit requirement each time you want to get a new handgun In va. we have a 1 gun a month law but we just got passed a over ride to that law if you get a cc permit quote:"Praise the hardball gun" 0 -

Question-
If a person can only purchase C/R weapons in thier original configuration, someone please explain how the companies(AIM, Century, etc.) can sell barrelled recievers to C/R holders?
They sure weren't issued in that condition.

They can't, legally. BATF has specifically ruled that barrelled receivers cannot be C&R firearms.0
