Classic have Yugoslavian SKS Rifle - California Compliant - 7.62x39

So after reading this thread, I have realized I need to try and have this go through an FFL01 rather than directly to me.

Does anyone know where in the CA law it specifies that it must be over 50 years old even if it's on the federal C&R list? I contacted Classic telling them about this and their response was basically "This is a C&R rifle".. I was hoping to find the actual law / wording around this issue.

27545. CA Penal code.
Where neither party to the transaction holds a dealer’s license issued pursuant to Sections 26700 to 26915, inclusive, the parties to the transaction shall complete the sale, loan, or transfer of that firearm through a licensed firearms dealer pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 28050).



27965. CA Penal Code
(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(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2014, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2014, deletes or extends that date.

Basically what your C&R License is letting you do is receive the long gun from out of state. CA then requires that it be 50+ years old. That will go away on 01-01-2014. At that time all the rifle will need to be is CA legal and qualify as a C&R but you will have to self register it like you now do with C&R handguns purchased out of state. You will also need to have a COE.
