Got the latest XXXXXXX catalog (self-censored, I know better ) and they list the FEG PA-63 and Walther P-38s, but not as C&R eligible. Anybody know as to why these aren't available to 03 FFL holders?

the FEG PA-63 and Walther P-38s
Because they are not old enough yet. From what I have read the PA-63 was produced from the mid-50's until sometime in the 60's. That means all but the earliest ones are too new (<50 years old).Got the latest XXXXXXX catalog (self-censored, I know better ) and they list the FEG PA-63 and Walther P-38s, but not as C&R eligible.

So PA-63s built thru 1957 should be good to go. does anybody know if there's a way to date check them?
P-38s are, the Walther P1 pistols aren't because they are newer production German police guns.
Most handguns aren't because they simply aren't over 50 years old. I'm still wondering why the ATF allowed the CZ82 to become C&R when the CZ70 and CZ75 models aren't.
That is not what the ATF says:Date of manufacture means nothing. Date of service and ammo obsolescence does. jp
Quick! Someone make a museum of Hungarian Maks!
That is not what the ATF says:
Yes indeed any that where manufactured prior to 1958 would be a C&R. It does not have to be on the list to be a C&R.So the P38/P1/P4 were made from Mid 30's to 1980's, all have the same basic design. It is as a group, not individual firearms. The M14/M1A1 is not C&R. The 1st ones rolled out in the late 1950's.. still made. jp
