Dave, Many states have passed their own legislation that essentially states that if a firearm can chamber "readily available ammunition" it must be treated as a modern firearm. New York, and their "Safe Act" was one of them, and I found out, first hand, that VA is another. Unless a seller knows every state's (constitutionally correct is another subject entirely) legislation, he may be taking the conservative approach, and treating all the same.
Even C&R licensees have lost the ability to directly receive guns, which the BATFE has already determined to be C&R eligible, directly from either an FFL, or private individual in those states. Many of these states are facing challenges in the courts, and it's entirely possible all these punitive regulations will be thrown out.
