[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Class III registered weapons Question

Why can't the CMP take posession (if they obtained the proper FFL) of pre-86 Class III weapons from the military? It seems as if training civilians to be better marksmen with military small arms is right in line with the original goals.

Also, where are the military sidearms? Why doesn't the CMP have any of them?

Because the way the law was written, it doesn't matter when the firearm was manufactured. If it wasn't listed in the NFRTR as of May 19, 1986 then it could never be added as a free-market transferrable.

Yep, the military would have had to have registered them in the NFA registry prior to the 1986 cutoff, which they didn't do because they didn't have to.

IIRC: Wasn't there a ruling not so long ago about WWII bringbacks being "registered" so long as you had the letter from the C.O. authorizing you to keep them?
