I would need a Connecticut Resident with an 8 gauge shotgun who wants to hunt migratory game birds in CT. And I would need to form a group/club of 8 gauge shooters.

You are fighting the Feds, not the state of Connecticut.

I don't like agreeing with this guy but in his statement I agree 100% !

I agree ultimately its federal law, but to bring the case in CT I either need a resident who wants to use an 8 Gauge or I need someone from any state who gets arrested in CT for using an 8 gauge. In CT the people who enforce Federal regulations are generally CT conservation police. I haven't seen a USFWS person in years.

I think I'll pass on that "getting arrested" business.

There is a BATFE list of C&R approved firearms. Parker Repros are not on it.

Those interested in making a case to the commissioner for C&R listing can make their arguments. Might take a couple years for a decision.

I say yes. What say you?

I just recently acquired my C&R and even more recently bought a Pre 64 Model 70 ,Chambered in 338 Win.Mag .1959 Vintage , the seller paid his FFL to ship the Rifle and even though he agreed the 338 would qualify as a C&R Rifle ,he still refused to ship the gun to me so it went to my FFL , did any one else ever run into this !
