I have a C&R myself so I have figured out that any pre model K-22 is over 50 years old and eligible. Around here it costs $50-75 to have a handgun transferred through an FFL. That's money I would rather out into the gun than the transfer.
Problem is I have run into several sellers on GB that don't care if it's C&R eligible, they have told me straight out they are scared to send a handgun to a C&R and won't do it, even if it means they take less money for the gun (less bidders, lower price).
"My FFL will not ship to a C&R holder. That's his policy and he's my shipping Agent."
"In 35 years, we have dealt enough with BATF that we just don't risk our license on technicalities. Field agents just don't like to be told or proven wrong. And those are the people we have to deal with and inspect our books."
A few others basically saying the same thing....
