SKS and C & R question

Paper · 03-06-2008, 08:09 AM

I recently picked up a '53 Russian SKS. Now, I know this is C & R eligible because it's over 50 years old, but I was under the assumption that it was eligible because it was on the List. Firearms Curios or Relics List

After searching this morning, I can find Albanian and Yugo SKS's on the list, but I can't seem to find an others. I checked the main list and the updates, but can't seem to locate it. I thought the Russian models were eligible no matter what the date?

Can anyone set me straight on this? Did I miss it?

I have a '53 Russian as well and like you found it isn't included on the list. Sorry I can't explain it. Just wanted you to know you are not alone!
