Can you buy "sporterized" rifles (mausers,springfields,etc) on a C & R license?

Sure. As long as the date it was originally made was at least 50 years ago.

quote:

As set out in the regulations (27 CFR 178.11), curios or relics include firearms which are of special interest to collectors by reason of some quality other than is associated with firearms intended for sporting use or as offensive or defensive weapons.

Found this quote off the ATF web site.
Better give them a call if you're not sure.

I have been told that sporterized milsurps are not covered under the C&R regs. Note the last sentence, operative word being "ORIGINAL".

actSECTION II

FIREARMS CLASSIFIED AS CURIOS OR RELICS

UNDER 18 U.S.C. CHAPRTER 44

The Bureau has determined that the following firearms are curios or relics as defined in 27 CFR 178.11 because they fall within one of the categories specified in the regulations.
Such determination merely classifies the firearms as curios or relics and thereby authorizes licensed collectors to acquire, hold, or dispose of them as curios or relics subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and the regulations in 27 CFR Part 178. They are still "firearms" as defined in Chapter 44 of Title 18, U.S.C.

All Original military bolt action and semiautomatic rifles manufactured between 1899 and 1946.

Sporterized = disqualified.

Must be in it's original configuration as manufactured/issued/rearsenaled during the eligibility period.

This is very clear in all the BATFE regulations governing FFL 3 C&R license.

I would get an interpration directly from ATF...

You may want to read the entire list...

Did you know all pre-64 Model 70s are classfied as curios and relics

Here is the entire list on the BATF website which BATF says is not the complete list.

Mike,

What's on the list is not relavant. The term "sporterized" means modified from it's original configuration. Additionally, states have and do apply their own limitations to the list superceding the BATFE's guidelines. I wouldn't screw around with trying to buy a sporterized/modified C&R weapon. Modifying a legitimate C&R weapon violates the spirit of the code and may also get you into trouble. As Elmer Fudd used to say "Be very very careful".

If there is doubt then buy it as a non C&R purchase and you'll be fine.

That list is hardly complete, for example, there are no Winchesters other than one commemorative.

Rob,

The first thing is says on the website is...

"This is not a complete list"

Macifej,

What section of the sporterized language in?

They make it as confusing as possible, there are C&R's, guns that used to be collectible and are now classified as C&R's, etc.

Here's a link to a more complete list, perhaps it's more current.

I'll get it for you guys and post it when I have a few minutes to dig it out. I have all the BATFE and Kaliforniastan guidelines/manuals/books etc as I have a current C&R FFl which I do use.

If one is looking for a Mauser Springfield or what ever and it was a Military unit and it's been altered ( Sporter). FORGET IT !. C&R are REAL CLEAR on that subject NO . They don't qualify as Curio or Collectable
.
Shoot Straight Know Your Target . ...

Then what is this meant to mean?

"Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas thereof; are considered C&R eligible."

I think you guys are reading too much into these regs.

It means that a Winchester M71 made in 1940 is eligible but a Winchester or Browning repro M71 made by Miroku in Japan in the 1990's isn't.

Yes I agree, Recoil Rob. But d martin, the original poster, asked about 'sporterized' rifles. Some folks like Macifej say that Sporterized = disqualified.

I totally disagree. I'm not into C&R rifles, but pistols. I bought a P-08 German Luger, chamber stamped 1917. It certainly qualifies for the 50 year rule. But it has been refinished and some of the parts do not have the original serial numbers of the slide and frame. Neither does the magazine. I bought it using my C&R license.

I bought a 1942 Beretta model 1934 that has been nickle plated. That's not original, but I bought it using my C&R license.

Same for a WWII Star model B. It was gone over by some arsenal, it's not original but, I bought it using my C&R license.

You guys aren't reading the regs correctly or else all the 01FFL dealers I've been buying from are transacting incorrectly.

There is always one way to settle a disagreement over what is and what's not able to be purchased with a C&R license . Use the C&R to purchase it if the Feds coming knocking Well you've got to figure it wasn't if they don't happy Days collecting . The rest of the World is different than CA. out here we're lucky if we can buy ammo . In some counties it's illegal to have it or purchase it from shipping vendors !.

Although it's perfectly acceptable to let illegal aliens into the Country and give them anything and everything including SS !.

This is " Democracy in Action " paid for by all of our tax dollars credit you're Dummycrat politicians for that . Ride on Nancy and Harry into the Sunset over the DEEP BLUE and never ever come back !. Please NEVER !!!. Oh yes take that worthless left over bag of alcohol referred too as Kennedy with you .

Refinnised does not equal sporterized. Most of teh surplus rifles being sold as C&R are mismatches having been refurbed. The point is that they have not been substantially altered as a rifle that has been sported has. there is a difference.

Hell, most 01's don't know the laws that pertain to them much less a C&R. And, greed has a way of helping them see grey issues in a light that is more in tune with their desire for $$$. Quite a silly game if you ask me on both the 01 & 03's part considering the penalties.

Now, you can buy a C&R then sport it all you want but it will no longer be C&R eligible.

Of course it always strikes me as silly that instead of going straight to the source (ATF) people will solicit help from annonymous internet "experts". When in doubt, go straight to the ATF and get it in writing. The funny thing is, I've found that most folks don't want to do that because they know what the answer will be.

Another problem with the C&R comes up on actions. The firearms must be complete. i.e. You cannot buy a 1913 Argentine barreled action on a C&R, but you can buy the complete rifle.

Look at the intent. If you sporterize a curio or a relic, it ceases to be a curio or a relic. It shouldn't be a C&R purchase. The collector value is, for the most part, gone, and thus the intent of the C&R license is gone with it. It is the value to collectors that determines whether or not the firearm is a C&R. Sporterized milsurps, for the most part, have little or no collector value. Their value is in sporting use, not collector value. I think Sedgleys, Rigbys, Griffin & Howe rifles should be C&R, too due to their "collectability" but I don't know how BATFE considers them. A "Bubba" sporterized 98 has no collector value, and thus, isn't covered under the C&R license, and shouldn't be.

I believe under special circumstances, something that ordinarily would NOT qualify as a C&R might. For example, a formerly military 1903 Springfield that was made into a custom rifle for, and was subsequently owned by, say, Theodore Roosevelt......

This from ATF Publication 5300.11, revised April 2004:

[QUOTE]Licensed collectors may lawfully import curio or relic firearms other than surplus military firearms, nonsporting firearms, and NFA weapons. [A surplus military firearm is defined as one that belonged to a regular or irregular military force at any time. Alteration of the firearm does not change its status. Therefore, a sporting firearm with a military surplus frame or receiver is a surplus military firearm, because a frame or receiver is classified as a firearm as described in 18 U.S.C. section 921 (a) (3).]... [QUOTE]

Will this paragraph change anyone's mind about sporterized rifles made more than 50 years ago?

Dave,

Thanks...I am always amazed at the number of people simply just agree with opinion.

I don't wish to start any arguments but why isn't it legal to purchase a sporterized mauser for example at a gun show or Dealers shop and carry it home that day ?. I'm speaking of a WW2 8MM redone in say 375 H&H , It's a Military relic but it's been altered and there for carries the same status as a MODERN FIREARM !.

Gun BROKER along with several other sellers makes no mention of C&R eligibility when selling these types of weapons . MUST be shipped too an FFL Dealer !.

As I said if the seller is willing to do it then it's probably legal if not ?.

Shoot Straight Know Your Target . ...

Dr. K,

The gun broker seller is just probably covering all his bets...it is less hassle to not worry about what is ie is not C&R elgible...

Why does UPS require a copy of an FFL?

Mike other dealers such as J&G out of AZ. also require an FFL on those types of weapons . But don't on C&R eligible weapons including SKS and many pistols ?. I wasn't aware UPS required a copy of the FFL unless shipping from a dealer too a dealer .
I've shipped too a dealer or Smith and had it shipped back to me . I have to sign for it . then again I want to SIGN and have it in MY hands , not left by the gate ! .

Or like FED EX pulled on me one time. The driver signed said it was delivered at 10:00 PM left by the front door !. TWO LARGE problems with that the gates are locked at 6:00 PM and Cypress & Thor patrol 24 7 . She goes 90 lb he goes 122 lb Security by German Shepperd !!.
Not even rats live on my property least wise not for long anyway .

Driver took the package home had it for 11 days before Fed Ex figured it out !. We NO longer USE THEM , they would leave stuff out side the gates even when the dogs weren't able to get too the gates . Inner and outer gates set up . Truck freight DHL UPS never ever had one problem .

Sporterized rifles are C&R if they have value as a collectible. All those old fine coversions of 03's, mausers, etc, are C&R. A recent sporter conversion or Bubba job is not. The ATF's never given anyone trouble on this point, not caring much about old guns in general, but they'd have to prove it wasn't collectible.
In general today the 50 years OR on the list is the rule. Just remember that nothing is ever removed from the list so a lot qualifies now by the 50 year rule, but was put on either when it was less than 50, or because the distributor got nervous and had a museum curator certify it.
As for original military configuration all armed forces continually rebuild, rework and update their firearms. Any mods or parts switching they might have done are legal, and once again the ATF's never bothered anyone about it.

Again why can't one purchase a 98 Sporter with a C&R license from a dealer or gun show and carry it away ?. Least wise in CA. we aren't able to nor are we able to purchase them from C&R dealers . If they are Stock 98 's we can an example Mitchell Mausers . But if it's been sporterized We aren't able to !. So I want an answer from BATF on this . I will have one after the holidays . Who determines the Value of a collectable other than the purchaser ?.

Sounds to me like it's a California problem you're having, not an ATF problem. Although, like I said, I never tried to buy a milsurp rifle, sporterized or original.

I know and have purchased milsurplus but not a sporterized model . I've been told by the dealers it's because it's modified it no longer qualifies as a C&R collectable . It now falls under a modified or modern fire arm status .

I don't know , but will find out directly from BATFE after the Holidays .

Assault weapons are a CA problem which we have a big list of , not bolt weapons .

Happy Holidays to ALL of YOU. ...
