Russian SKS no date

[ImprezaSTI]

Can a no date stamp Russian SKS be sold cash & carry?
My understanding is that the Russians stopped making SKS's around 1956 and the last batch weren't stamped.

All Russian SKS are C&R -

Yeah that's what I thought but the seller of a no-date Russian SKS said he doesn't want to sell it cash & carry because he thinks he might get in trouble. Is there any way to convince someone like that?

A. TRANSFERS OF LONG GUN C&RS OVER 50 YEARS OLD BETWEEN PRIVATE PARTIES

Penal Code section 12078(t)(2) exempts the infrequent transfer of rifles or shotguns that are both "curios or relics" and that are at least 50 years old from the requirements of Penal Code section 12072(d).

Specifically, Section 12078 (t)(2) exemption provides that:

Subdivision (d) of Section 12072 shall not apply to the infrequent3 sale, loan, or transfer of a firearm that is not a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person, which is a curio or relic manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas thereof, as defined in Section 178.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Thus, a rifle or shotgun (i.e. firearm that is not a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed) that is a "curio or relic" at least 50 years old may, on an infrequent basis, be transferred from a federally licensed dealer to a "licensed collector," and between private parties without going through a California licensed dealer.

I have a "no-date" Russian SKS. It was made late 1955 early 1956. Tula just put a star on the left side of the receiver. See this page for info.
