A gun you wish was C & R eligble
I have been pretty interested in something along the lines of a FEG PA-63 as an inexpensive plinker and wish I could purchase direct, without going through my FFL. (I know, they can be found at gun shows etc., but I haven't bought anything with my C&R yet and I have the itch). It would be nice if the P-64 or the AP-7 were also C & R, but I guess they all should be available in the next few years or so.
What are you waiting for?

Buy the Feg and get the Wolff springs for it. It'll dust a Walther PP in the trigger and felt recoil departments. The change is remarkable.

CZ 83?
A CZ 82 packs almost as well as a PA-63. It's is heavier and thicker through the grip, but you also have 5 more rounds. And IMHO the 82 is a better handling weapon.
Def. go with a spring kit for the PA-63. If I had to choose between my CZ 82 and my PA 63 the PA-63 would get the boot.

Thanks for the advice, I have heard the Wolff springs help a lot, also have my eye on a CZ 82 possibly.
Looking over my OP, I think the last sentence should read more along the lines of.... is there a gun out there that you have your eye on, but is not on the c&r list yet?

I'm a waiting for the Browning high power to make the list. I don't think it has been out of production for very long. sure seems to qualify on the historical side tho.
1911 would be another one. Yes I know that if either of the above is +50 they are C+R I was thinkin more a blanket type ruling on those two. Oh and excuuuuse me I meant CZ 82 in my earlier post, I'll go fix it now.

Some Brownings are C&R if they were made more than 50 years ago. It's been in production over 70 years.
Edit: you knew that, too quick on the draw. |

No new select-fire guns can make the list because the Registry is closed.

True, but as all existing transferrable machineguns become 50 and/or are added by name, they will become C&R. That means if you have a C&R you can purchase one from someone in another state on a Form 4 without having it transferred through a dealer.
Some state restrict their machinegun ownership only to those classified C&R. BTW, there are some transferrable M14s. |

I find myself shopping, find something I like, get ready to order it, and go nuts, it not C+R. With my OCD this might be a good thing

I wish the Sterling MK8 (SBR) that Im in the process of having transfered to a local Class III dealer from out of state ...then transfered to me(a total of 2 $200.00 tax stamps) was on the list...they only made a total of 70 of them in the late 1980's, with 15 still in the factory in Dagenham England when British Aerospace purchased Sterling Armament only to close thier doors...so a max of 55 ever made it to the U.S.
I think If I felt like filing out the papers, It probley would qualify for the C&R list due to rarity.. If they were C&R it could be transfered directly to me, at the cost of only one $200.00 stamp.

I wonder how making the guns c & r affects their availability? I just purchased a p64 from j & g but had they been c & r I wonder if they would still be this available? not trying to hijack the post.

+1 to just about every item added to the list.
No need to worry about hijacking the thread, everything that is coming up is interesting stuff, thanks for everyone's input.

Ok, let me ask a stupid question here. I thought that being over 50 years old automatically got it onto the list. Since the vast majority of ex-military 1911's are over 50 years old wouldn't they be C&R?

Yup. If a particular gun is old enough, it's a C&R.
