Correct me if I'm wrong

I’ve bought pre-1898 Parkers from members here who wanted to ship to an FFL. Never considered it to be that big of a deal really. Almost safer that way, at least I know it’s being signed for rather than just dropped off on my porch.

You have a valid point !

I purchased a rather nice circa 1897 Marlin Model 1895 in 38-56 from Leroy Merz a number of years back and he shipped it direct to me via UPS no signature required . Now bear in mind I live in the country . And they just propped it against the wall right beside the front door .

BUT it was right there pretty much the first thing an unwanted visitor would notice and on top of that it naturally was in a cardboard box so if there was rain well you get the picture .

Getting back to Craig's original post, I am of the opinion that ATF does not want "non guns", in other words, pre 1898, in a licensee's bound book. Their reasoning is that a non gun is none of their business.

My understanding is that this has nothing to do with ATF and everything to do with New York’s safe act.
