All model made before 1986 , which is when the company ceased are currently C&R.
That is only 20 years as opposed to the mandatory 50 years to make the list....



- Bren Ten pistol, all models and variants manufactured by Dornaus and Dixon Enterprises, Inc. prior to 1986.








As we all know any firearm that is 50 years old automatically is qualified as an C&R.

Firearms automatically attain 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. Therefore, ATF does not generally list firearms in the C&R publication by virtue of their age.

To be recognized as C&R items, 27 CFR 478.11 specifies that firearms must fall within one of the following categories:

1...Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas of such firearms;

2...Firearms which are certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum which exhibits firearms to be curios or relics of museum interest; and

3...Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event.

HRS 134-1 also states :
but does not include a firearm ............ or a curio or relic as those terms are used in ....... 27 Code of Federal Regulations 178.11



Section 178.11 newly redesignated 478.11 under the Dept. of Justice.

I don't know where you come up with this stuff, but THANKS!!! This is very cool. 

CZ was supposed to revive the Bren 10 a few years back.  Not sure what happened...

Really enjoy this channel on youtube.  Tons of information you don't know and probably some information you would never care to know.

Wonder how much it sold for?.....
