C&R gunshow question

[killjoy1137]

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but I was thinking about going to the Del Mar gun show next month and was wondering if C&R guns like mosins are cash and carry? Thanks.

C&R long guns at least 50 years old (actual date of manufacture; not design) are cash & carry from a private party. From a gun dealer, they must be DROS'ed.

This is true whether you have a C&R FFL or not.

All handguns must be DROS'ed through a dealer.

For antiques (actual date of manufacture 1898 or earlier), long gun or handgun, cash & carry.

All muzzleloaders, cash & carry, except a few in-lines that use the same receiver for modern ammo with a barrel swap.

Agree +1
IMHO - Gun shows (generally) C&R's are over-priced. Being that said once a great while you'll find a honest person who has decent prices.

You have to know what you are looking at/for and you have to know what it might be worth...and what you are willing to pay. If you are prepared, then you will have no problem. Up here in Northern California, C&R dealers/Private Party Sellars usually will remember you & negotiating to a fair price is your job...

This is great advise! Thanks for sharing!

some FFL will sell cash and carry. not sure about the law regarding C&R sales. i think a FFL can do a private party sale of a 50 year old rifle if they want to.

I would be very careful of any offer to sell you a gun cash and carry unless you were extremely sure it met the requirements. With all the anti gun stuff going on an undercover operation at a gun show is very likely. I'd be even more worried about selling anything I wasn't sure was over 50 for the same reason.

WTH? If you're talking about an 01FFL, as in a dealer, then NO they will not sell cash & carry. I've encountered some very stupid dealers and even the dumbest ones know that is illegal. If they have a firearm logged in their books, they MUST log it out, period. The only way to log it out is by performing a DROS or logging it out to another 01FFL. There's no lee-way, they can't do something different "if they want to". There's a paper trail for a reason.
