Has anyone registered a Yugo Mauser M24/47 (as opposed to M48) locally as a C&R?

These rifles are not on the BATF C&R list but I understand that these rifles do qualify as C&R. I also understand that there is no way to identify the manufacturing date from the serials and that there may be no stamps to indicate the manufacturing date. If so, how does an 03 FFL holder establish that the rifle is 50+ years old and/or otherwise qualifies as a C&R?

TIA

If it is over 50 years and not modified it should be OK as a C&R.
The guys behind the window pretty well know what's up. Copies of a Mauser book Page, or even support from the vendor should be sufficient

the guys at the window do not know, about the automatic 50+ years C&R qualification not listed.


you must prove your firearm is C&R eligible.

I am hopeful that Gordyf is correct but I believe you're are right as this was what  HPD told to me the first time I tried to register my K31 and C&R. Luckily I kept the label on the shipping box and the seller's invoice, both of which identified the year the K31 was produced, and presented these along with copies of a few webpages that tied the mfg date with the serials to get me through.

I can only speak from experience. Just recently registered a Smith M&P revolver with nothing more than a copy of the brown book page that says 50 years plus, and a cut from the
Standard catalog of Smith and Wesson as back up. I expected a problem and was pleasantly surprised.
Guess I will see what happens next time.

There is, unfortunately, quite a variation of knowledge, experience, and competence on the other side of that window.  The burden of proof seems to be on the applicant.  The criteria for satisfying said burden, well, it depends on who you're trying to satisfy.

I guess I better bring a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts when I attempt to register a Yugo M24/47.

While you are thinking right, you gotta do better than something they can go buy at Longs.  Bake some brownies, or some cookies.  And do your homework.

No, not "special" kine!

imagine all the assault pistol would be legal under C&R in about 2030

Yeah the people at the counter rarely know anything about the firearms they look at, beyond what is stamped on them. If its not something super common like a Ruger 10/22 or an AR-15 pattern rifle, they are just going by the information provided to them by the applicant. The real knowledge is with the ladies in the back, and even that isn't as much as you would hope considering how many guns are registered daily. When I registered my Yugo Mauser M48 no one knew what it was. They passed that rifle around to 2-3 people, all trying to guess the import country and model name. They figured it out but their internal working processes certainly could use some refinement.

Lesson learned: always bring any and all reference paperwork with you.
