Buying C&R rifle with changed stock, will it qualify as Cash and carry???

[bugman]

Hi guys, I want to buy this C&R rifle but the owner put a plastic aftermarket stock on it. I assume I cannot use my C&R license anymore and it has to be PPT. For the legal experts, can I still do cash and carry if we remove/separate the stock. Just wondering the legal aspects...

I often see some items that are stripped barrelled receivers like Mosin Nagants in Gunbroker and they are still listed as C&R eligible. But I want to make sure so I was asking.

This is from the ATF's C&R Q&A page. http://www.atf.gov/firearms/curios/1972-2007/faq.pdfreplacing the original firearm stock with a plastic stock would change its classification as a C&R item.

a receiver is not a C&R item. Combining this ruling and the definition of C&R firearms, the Firearms Technology Branch (FTB) has concluded that a firearm must be in its original condition to be considered a C&R weapon.

How old is it?

The seller said it is 1948 rifle.

importation of military C&R firearms

that segment (and that opinion) are not refering to C&R status once it is already in the united states.

That is for importation purpouses ONLY


The garand statement is deliberately misleading.

Here is the entire question and response. It is what it is and it is posted by the ATF. If you want to argue with them, go ahead.

Be careful with that, because there are multiple and specific definitions to what constitutes a C&R. The above statement could very well apply only to certain C&R firearms - such as those listed by name - yet not apply to others which meet the C&R definition purely by age.
