Parker Reproduction as Curio or Relic

[Brush Buster]

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 !

I wouldn't guess that a Model 70 was a C&R, is it?

It's a C&R gun PERIOD. Your seller has an irrational fear of the ATF. "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."

Yes, Russ. VA and NY do not honor the BATFE with regard to a C&R being able to receive firearms, and requires any gun which fires currently available ammo to go to an FFL, regardless of year of Mfgr. There may be other states too.
