I am trying to register a Yugo M57 in DC. The problem is it is not on the C&R list because it is C&R by virtue of age. The police officer will not register the gun because he cannot see it on a list.
Is there a way to prove the age of the gun???
ATF says on the matter: “Firearms automatically attain C&R status when they are 50 years old. Any firearm that is at least 50 years old, and in its original configuration, would qualify as a C&R firearm. It is not necessary for such firearms to be listed in ATF’s C&R list. Therefore, ATF does not generally list firearms in the C&R publication by virtue of their age. However, if you wish for a classification of your particular firearm under categories (b) or (c) above and wish your item to be listed, you may submit the weapon to the Firearms Technology Branch (FTB) for a formal classification.”
I am going back over this afternoon to try to talk to the guy and explain why the gun is not on the list. Any tips?
Edit: Does the date of manufacture to attain C&R status mean the date of production of my specific gun or for the 1957 beginning of production of M57s?
