Is this not C&R eligible?

HI Sorry about the delay. I don't believe so. It is fully functional and was used in cowboy competitions. It is not mine, I am selling it for a friend and is checked into my A & D. I'm not going to contact ATF to see it is or not. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you have a great day!

All guns 50 years old or older automatically attain relic status, even without being listed on the curio list.

Curios & Relics | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

A regulation implementing federal firearms laws, 27 CFR § 478.11, defines curio or relic (C&R) firearms as those which are of special interest to collectors by reason of some quality other than is associated with firearms intended for sporting use or as offensive or defensive weapons.

Hi, thanks for the info. I didn't know about Curios and Relics when I posted the aforementioned e-mail. When I first applied for FFL, I didn't know I would be dealing in older weapons for friends. I educated myself on Curios and Relics after someone inquired. The Winchester 1897 is on the list! I appreciate you providing the information as well. Have a great day!
