older than 50 years, is my understanding, is the standard for C&R.

c&r
Thanks for your replys
the revolver i'm looking at is 47 years old and missing a couple of parts, its rusted too. Personally don't think it'll ever be fired "or even safe to fire" That's why i was asking about c&r |

Depending on the make and model, and what parts are missing, it may not be worth buying. I am not sure I see the connection to its C&R status.

C&R means Curio and Relic. A Relic is anything 50 years old. A Curio is a gun that for some reason was granted C&R status before it turned 50. That's "the list" people often mistake as being all the guns that are C&R. Most are not on the list but are OK because of age.
Bear in mind that the ATF in its infinite wisdom has decreed that a modified gun loses C&R status. |

I think the OP is referring to project guns that fall under C&R - i.e. no FFL transfer fees for C&R holders. Makes 'em slightly more economically viable.
