P6 is not C&R, right?

[leadcounsel]

I don't think the P6 is on the C&R list, correct?

Gotta do research

I don't know for sure. I would say probably not.

 

[DaBull]

Don't think so...I'm sure lots of people would be talking about it if it was.

Sig P6/225? Nope, not C&R. Discontinued, but not a curio or relic

 

[smoke63b]

Not 50 years old. Not collectible, yet.

 

[cchris]

Not necessarily true. The CZ-82 is on the list, and it's younger than some of the P6's.

I receive, according to my wife anyways, an insane number of fliers from SOG, AIM, Century and the like. Unfortunately, I have yet to see any P6 marketed as C&R eligible. I assure you I would own one if I had.

If it's less than 50 years old though, you have to prove it's a collectible. You CAN send a letter and ask for it to be added to the list.

This is true, but I believe you must have some standing...you cannot just be a regular guy. I recall reading the person who got the CZ-82 added to the C&R list was the curator of the West Point museum.

Also, the 50 year rule only applies to guns in their original configuration. If a 51 year old gun is modified, then it is not automatically a C&R at age 50.

Unless the modification was common, more like another version of the weapon, which I believe stems from the sporterizing of WWI and WWII battle rifles.

 

[smoke63b]

Well yeah if you modify it that's a whole other ballpark. Also, yeah it's probably going to be pretty difficult for Joe Schmoe to get a gun added but you can still try. I saw some posts on another forum where a guy was doing that and they WERE responding via letter but I doubt it will ever actually accomplish anything.

 

[Dr_2_B]

good question. unfortunately, no.

 

[ROBBY.1911]

what does c&r mean to me? i'm clueless.

 

[smoke63b]

Curio and Relic. It's for old, out of production, collectible guns. You can get a C&R license and transfer guns that are on the ATF's C&R list without having the normal FFL. You just need your C&R license for those guns.
