[BrokerB]

im new to c&r

[steve91104]

Yes. It's over 50 years old, so it can be sold cash and carry to a non-prohibited person.

[Mssr. Eleganté]

Just make sure the buyer is at least 18 years of age and a California resident. (I'm assuming that you are a California resident.)

[BrokerB]

That is very interesting . Yes ca to ca residents well past 18)

Here's the CA law [PC 27965] that says it's legal.

However, after 12-31-2013, it will no longer be legal.


Penal Code 27965
(a) If all of the following requirements are satisfied, Section 27545 does not apply to the sale, loan, or transfer of a firearm:
(1) The sale, loan, or transfer is infrequent, as defined in Section 16730.
(2) The firearm is not a handgun.
(3) The firearm is a curio or relic manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date but is not a replica, as defined in Section 478.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or its successor.
(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2014, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2014, deletes or extends that date.

Wow that is going to hurt the gun shows.

[big103]

Yes Yes you can. 50 years or older long guns can be sold face to face.

Except the Chinese Norinco variants . The SKS is one of those rifles that is specifically listed by the BATF as CR but only in certain variations

[AK all day]

It also says if the rifle has been modified in any major way (suck as a polymer stock) would make it no longer a C&R. Just a note. This is info i get at gun shows.

[BrokerB]

thanks for info.. im still amazed at such a sweet rifle in my opinion can be a c&r..
I guess that each year that passes by we will have even more...When was the oldest FN-FALs made: ) hee hee

[TRICKSTER]

So what countries SKS are you talking about? You need to be able to document that it is in fact 1958 manufacture or 50+ years old and this may not be possible with some models.


Edit: Missed the "rom". Romanian is GTG.

[RED VASQUEZ]

How about Yugo's and re-arsenals, Do they qualify for ftf?

[PEZHEAD265]

Yugo's if they were made in 61 or before.I think re-arsenals can to as long as they where made before 62.The only SKS that can't be ftf is the Chinese is because there is no written records of serial# released from the goverment for them.

I have to withdraw the info on the yugo 59 they can not be accurately dated

[Fate]

Yes. It's over 50 years old, so it can be sold cash and carry to a non-prohibited person.

Yes. You can even legally ship it to the buyer if they're CA residents and it doesn't cross state lines.

None of the Yugo 59/66 "SKS" can be FTF transfered because none of them are older than 50 years.
They were made from the late-1960s to the mid-1980s.
