I also have viewed your post and kept up with the banter.I would caution you that your offering to ship this rifle to a C&R holder would not be legal.If the rifle was in its original military configuration it would qualify for C&R.It has been sporterized and therefore does not.Good luck with your sale and thanks for removing the collectable moniker.

WRONG. Look up the actual section of the law you're butchering, sport. The gun only has to fall into one category to be recognized as C&R.

"� 478.11 Meaning of terms.

Curios or relics. Firearms which are of special interest to collectors by reason of some quality other than is associated with firearms intended for sporting use or as offensive or defensive weapons. To be recognized as curios or relics, firearms must fall within one of the following categories:

(a) Firearms which were manufactured at least 50 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas thereof;

(b) Firearms which are certified by the curator of a municipal, State, or Federal museum which exhibits firearms to be curios or relics of museum interest; and

(c) Any other firearms which derive a substantial part of their monetary value from the fact that they are novel, rare, bizarre, or because of their association with some historical figure, period, or event. Proof of qualification of a particular firearm under this category may be established by evidence of present value and evidence that like firearms are not available except as collector's items, or that the value of like firearms available in ordinary commercial channels is substantially less."

Pay attention to this key part: To be recognized as curios or relics, firearms must fall within one of the following categories...

ONE category, not ALL categories. The standard admonishment remains, PLEASE DON'T POST BULLSHIT. Thanks.

BT,
The sentence I've high lighted in red above, tends to cause doubt amongst the big importers who import 99% of all the surplus rifles to hit our shore. If they put a non military stock on a military rifle, they believe it is no longer C&R, despite the fact that it is over 50 years old.

Why do you think you are more knowledgeable than people who handle the sales of tens of thousands or surplus rifles each year?

Seems to me it's possible you may not be correct.

Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it.

This is a "For Sale" add

Oh you asked, and were told, and continued to be a consummate
azzhat.

Next time try having a clue as to what you own, and what it's somewhat worth, and how legally to sell it.

And please if at all possible, do it somewhere else.

I'm sure I'm not nearly as frustrated as someone who is forced to work around you on a daily basis, from what I can see, you're a dandy. Have there been unexplained suicides with work associates? Do you have a job?

Try proof reading your post before you hit the submit button, it's hard to follow when you leave out punctuation and add or subtract letters.

Go [bleep] yourself and the goat you rode in on.
