Original Mauser Carbine at auction

Thanks Doug,

In re-reading my earlier post, I realize that perhaps I did not make my question(s) clear: I understand that the Mauser Parabellum commeratives that you listed, along with the Swiss models produced in the 70's are considered C&R weapons. And, since they obviously do not have shoulder stocks, they would not be considered short barrelled rifles --even in California. . .

My confusion is specifically regarding the Mauser Commerative Karabiner model--70's production:

I find the listing for the '70's Mauser Commerative Carbine (along with machine guns and various SBR's) under this heading in the C&R list:

SECTION IV: National Firearms Act Weapons Classified As Curios Or Relics Under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44
The Bureau has determined that the following National Firearms Act weapons are curios or relics as defined in 27 CFR 178.11 because of their dates of manufacture. These National Firearms Act weapons, classified as curios or relics, are still subject to all the controls under the National Firearms Act. However, licensed collectors may acquire, hold, or dispose of them as curios or relics subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR Part 178. They are still "firearms" as defined in the National Firearms Act and 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44.

Luger, Mauser commercial manufacture, semiautomatic pistol, 75 Jahre, Parabellum-Pistol, Mod. Karabiner, Commemorative, caliber 9mm, accompanied by a carbine type shoulder stock

Would a C&R holder be allowed to aquire a Mauser Karabiner directly, without going through a Class 3 dealer? Must they purchase the $200 tax stamp and process the paperwork required for a class 3 weapon's transfer?

Regarding my specific location; California residents are allowed to "import" into the state (through transfer via an FFL dealer) handguns listed on the federal C&R list. . . yet it is my understanding that the state does not allow private ownership of Class 3 weapons including SBR's. . .

Hope I didn't add to the confusion. . .and again, thanks
John
