My apologies . To answer your question, there is no cash and carry for firearms, I believe it must go through an FFL.

Not if it's more than 50 years old.

The term firearm does not apply to
federally defined “curio” or “relic” long guns over 50 years old for the purpose of
transfers between private parties.

But wouldn't he need a C&R license to sell it without going through an FFL? He doesn't have one.

I have no idea.

That's an interesting question!

I thought that if you took the C&R out of its original condition it lost its C&R status. Hence the reason why people who put "non-sporting" stocks and accessories on their sks have to play the 922(r) game.

Doesn't matter. You don't have a C&R license. You can put the rifle up for sale anyway you want, but when it's time to ship the rifle, you must ship it to an FFL where your buyer is located. You can ship it yourself with out the use of a local FFL. If it's a face to face transfer, you have to use an FFL to do that also. The way you word your question, "Do I now have to sell it through an FFL?" , I thought you were asking if you had to give it to the FFL to sell like a consignment through that FFL. You could, but you don't have to.

I doubt it as its still the age that made it a C & R you didnt build it from scratch right.

How was it sporterized that makes it not still be a C&R ?

If the modification that made it a C & R went away when it was sporterized then maybe ya know ?

I don't know, but since you don't have a C&R lic. it doesn't matter. There is no "cash and carry" allowed in CA. All firearms transfers (sales) have to go through an FFL. Excluding C&R status of course. But again, you don't have a license.
