Morphy's will not accept my C&R FFL because ammo is available for the gun so they need to ship to a FFL. My read is the gun is pre-1898 so no FFL is required. But a C&R should also be acceptable in that the gun is over 50 years old. I will have the gun shipped to a FFL but what am I missing?
Companies chose to be conservative and require an FFL and I don't blame them. My guess is their insurance carrier may require all transfers be to an FFL, given the litigious nature of the country - better safe than sorry, and there is nothing that infringes on anyones rights in doing so. The definition of C&R is woefully outdated and at some point will be revisited and/or litigated.
