P-64

So im kinda liking the P-64 for some reason recently. Is there a way to find out if it will be eligible for C&R sometime in the near future?

 

[Chaunsey]

considering its called the p-64 due to being adopted in 1964 i would assume the that it will take 4 years for even the earliest made p-64's to be C&R.

If/when they become C&R eligible, prices will go up, anyway.

I'd just check local gun shops, or get one transferred if you can't find one.

I get what your saying, but if that was true then the cz 82 shouldn't be eligable until 2032

The CZ82 was granted C&R status, like the SKS, because of its unique historical significance, as opposed to its age. A museum curator somewhere (can't recall who) petitioned the BATF to grant it C&R status.

Anything 50+ years old is automatically C&R eligible, but certain specific models (or even commemorative production runs of otherwise 'regular' guns) can be C&R's, too.

From the BATF's website:

"To be recognized as C&R items, 478.11 specifies that firearms must fall within one of the following categories:

Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas of such firearms;

Firearms which are certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum which exhibits firearms to be curios or relics of museum interest; and

Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event."
