[quote:Anonymous Coward 669772:MV83ODU2MzJfMTIwNTYxODVfQzVFMzcxQzg=] [quote:Evil Twin] If it was actually built in 1895, then it qualifies as a "Curio and Relic" firearm, and as such, is exempt from most federal restrictions. Hi Evil, What about a Winchester 1912 20 Ga?i bought from an old friend a few years ago for $300.00,would it be a Relic or curio? Firefly I wasn't sure, so I just looked up the regulations again, and found this: Updated: 1/05/09 Firearms automatically attain curio or relic (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. However, if your C&R item is regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and you desire removal from the provisions of the NFA, you must submit the firearm to the Firearms Technology Branch for evaluation and a formal classification. http://www.atf.gov/firearms/curios/0108o1208update.htm ETA: The National Firearms Act doesn't apply to your shotgun, unless its barrel is less than 18" long. [/quote] Wow!!!!! Your great Evil and thank you. Shotgun all original and is in great shape. [/quote]
