C&R/FFL question

[mcm95403]

I have an early SKS for sale that I bought via FFL transfer. IS it still eligible for sale as a C&R or am I now stuck with selling it via another FFL transfer?

How you originally acquired it has no effect on the C&R status of the firearm.

If it's 50 years old, or older, you may sell it to another CA resident without going through a dealer. The old PC numbering for this was: 12078(t)(2) -- not sure what it is under the renumbered PC. How you received it does not matter. This transfer method will change on 01/01/2014.

Better make sure it is 50 years old or older to FTF sell it in CA.

Check the numbers/letters they will usually tell you what year it was made. If you trust the person you are selling it to then you can sell it anyway. The burden of proof is not really on you in the end. There was a lot of fud spread here about the Yugo model 59 not being C&R by a bunch of speculators but many in the know got them shipped to their doors. Chances are very-very good it is 50+ or generally considered so (remember the burden). You can also have the buyer self register (copy for you with private info redacted) the rifle for $19 if you want extra assurance and accurate records "just in case".
