SW Victory Revolver

[snakep]

Apologies for newbie question...I have recently submitted my app for a C&R license...provided it makes it thru the bureaucratic hoops and I were to receive it, can I then purchase with a C&R, a SW Victory revolver? Is a Victory considered C&R eligible (and not a regulated firearm)? Thanks for your patience...s

According to what I've read, the Victory Smith & Wesson was produced from 1942-1944. It's over 50 years old, so qualifies as C&R. Assuming you're looking at an out-of-state seller, you can use a C&R license to purchase. If seller is in Maryland, the C&R license is not used. It's a regulated firearm and you have to go through all the MD bells and whistles.

WWII production, right?

300% C&R. Good to go.

As stated, you can import it directly from out of state, shipped from a dealer or seller in another state.

If you buy it in Maryland, it has to go through the whole 77r, 100 day wait, etc.

But in any case, you have to log it into your Bound Book no matter how you acquire it.

Not true. If you buy it from an ffl without using your c&r you do not have to log it.

Oh yes you do!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Any C&R-eligible firearm which comes into or leaves your possession during the period your license is in effect must be logged in and/or logged out.


Doesn't matter how you acquire it.



In fact, that 65 year-old .22 that belonged to your Grampaw, the one you shot tin cans with when you were a kid- if you sell it, you have to log it in (acquired from "personal collection"), then immediately log it back out.


Federal prisons are bulging with crufflers who screwed up on that rule.

I was missinformed and looks like I need to log some things. As I have never used my c&r for anything

Quick, before they kick down your dog and shoot your door!

You're "using" your C&R just by breathing. You are a Federal Firearms Licensee. Stand proud.

You do have to log it. You are licensed and do not have the option of turning that designation on and off.

That's why I've hung back from C&R . Too many of my *normal* items would be technically covered .

No big deal. You would only log them in if you sold them. If you think about it, it's kind of a crazy exercise in bureaucratic silliness.

When your license expires after three years, don't renew it. You can then shred your old Bound Book. Wait six months and get another license.

Book entries are simple. Takes me less than five minutes per gun. In MD, there's no good reason not to get a C&R at this point, especially come Oct 1st. While much of the conversation in the C&R forum here is confined to low-rent surplus guns, there are tons of other options that most gun collectors would love to have, provided one's wallet allows. Delivery straight to your door and/or true cash-and-carry are icing on the cake.

Not withstanding the pre Oct 1 purchases , most of my intrests have production dates spanning the rolling 50yr. And I would usually seek out 1950s and earlier production. For the better workmanship , and better quality wood used in basic guns.

At this point I will be monitoring for post Oct pushback against C&R activities.

Logging doesn't seem very hard and I already keep a electronic inventory.

Only if you sold them, and then what difference would it make?
