tvrc18 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 What is the legal jumbo on the C & R guns and fully transferable? If it is 35 years old is it a C& R or just transferable? I have only seen a couple of C & R Thompsons listed for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZDoug Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 There area few states that only let C&R MG's be owned. C&R just means it is on teh C&R list, which generally includes guns 50 years old and older, or specialty guns which ATF considers as unlikely to be used in a crime. The whole thing is stupid, really, as no one who goes thru a back ground check, and spends thousands of $$ for a transferable gun, is going to commit a crime with it. The designation probably came about decades ago, when Colt TSMG's cost $700, and WWII MG's were $75. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jr Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Every TSMG that is transferable to an individual is C&R except the West Hurley 1928's. Take care Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondAmend Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 A handful of the '28 WH's are in the special category PhilOhio noted. The WWII (1983 vintage)and the Korean War (1984 vintage) but, the last I looked not the Vietnam War (1985 vintage) Commemoratives, and IIRC the .22 cal's are C & R. Check the ATFE Website for the latest info. I was going to get one of the Korean War Commemorative '28 WH's and have the gold parts swapped with IMA parts. Then the prices went up.
