Mod 36-no dash C&R eligible?

[norville]

Hello all, I have S&W model 36 -no dash flat latch. Diamond grips, 3" barrel Serial # 1384xx. Is there any way to figure out if this indeed C&R eligible? From my reading it's very near the transistion of numbers and C&R eligibility?

thanks

It looks to me that your gun was made in about 1958 based on interpeting the serial number. That would make 52 years old and eligible for shipping to a C&R license. The ending serial number in 1957 was 125000 so that's why I believe yours was made in late 1958.

Any commercially produced firearm (military rifles have conditions apply) that is 50 years old is automatically granted C&R status. Since any pre-model marked S&W would have to have been made no later than 1957, any such gun is C&R.

All,

What is C&R?

 

[fyimo]

It stands for a Curios & Relics and is dealer's license and it has different rules then the FFL license.

C&R is not a "Dealers License", the BATF language specifically identifies it as NOT A Dealers License. It is for Collectors, and has quite a bit of different rules for it's use.

Yes, a C&R will work for your revolver. Good luck!

It is a great association, and I highly recommend it.
