Sec. 179.25  Collector's items.

    The Director shall determine in accordance with 26 U.S.C. 5845(a), 
whether a firearm or device, which although originally designed as a 
weapon, is by reason of the date of its manufacture, value, design, and 
other characteristics primarily a collector's item and is not likely to 
be used as a weapon. A person who desires to obtain a determination 
under that provision of law shall follow the procedures prescribed in 
Sec. 179.24 relating to destructive device determinations, and shall 
include information as to date of manufacture, value, design and other 
characteristics which would sustain a finding that the firearm or device 
is primarily a collector's item and is not likely to be used as a 
weapon.
