Section III

NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT WEAPONS REMOVED FROM THE ACT AS COLLECTOR'S ITEMS AND CLASSIFIED AS CURIOS OR RELICS UNDER 18 U.S.C. CHAPTER 44

The Bureau has determined that by reason of the date of their manufacture. value, design and other characteristics, the following firearms are primarily collector's items and are not likely to be used as weapons and, therefore, are excluded from the provisions of the National Firearms Act.

Further, the Bureau has determined that such firearms are also curios or relics as defined in 27 CFR 178.11. Thus, licensed collectors may acquire, hold or dispose to them as curios or relics subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR Part 178. They are still "firearms" as defined in Chapter 44 of Title 18, U.S.C.
