As the title suggests, I’m wondering if the 1970’s era Stoeger .22 is C&R FFL eligible. I actually bought it with mine many years ago, but now that I’m selling mine I want to make 100% sure. I checked the ATF list but it only raised more questions than it answered.
Anyone know for sure? |

A quote from the BATF web site: "Firearms manufactured at least 50 years prior the current date, but not including replicas thereof;"

“Luger, Mauser Parabellum, semiautomatic pistol, cal.’s 7.65mm or 9mm Luger, 4” and 6” barrel, Swiss pattern with grip safety and the American Eagle stamped on the receiver; made from 1970 to 1978.” I think this applies but I’m not 100% sure. |

Never mind, that can’t apply because of the lack of grip safety and caliber….

I think the 50 year rule applies to a Stoeger Luger as much as any other firearm. Since it is a Luger in copyrighted name only, lists of variations of original Lugers would not apply. Anything made before 1972 at this point would qualify as a C&R, so you may have to wait a few years before a Stoeger Luger would qualify. Some of Erma's earlier model toggle pistols have phased into C&R status, but there are perhaps 20 years to wait before the later models follow suit.

If the individual firearm was manufactured 50 years or more ago, it is considered C&R. The list is for additional firearms that may be newer. So, if it was made before 1972, it's C&R. You would need to be able to determine that by serial number.

This means that post war HSc pistols are also C&R provided the manufacturing date is pre-72? That includes the majority of post war production.
