ChuckH and others,
Not being in the business I was perhaps overly cautious and lazy, but the gun I was selling was a Baker shotgun made in, if I remember correctly,(I sold it) 1936. The BATF curio and relics section lists the Manufacturer, but to include the years 1899 thru 1919. As said my gun was made in 1936. If I was more of an expert on the subject or had explored further I may have been able to accept the gentleman's C&R, but he offered an FFL so I took it. I don't play the lottery or have any interest in Vegas or cheat on my taxes, in part because I can't afford fines, jail or just plain loosing money. I don't know, but why do people get C&Rs rather than FFLs? It is curious to me that a double barrel shotgun made in 1936 would not be a relic, but at the same time I bought a combination gun 22mag/20ga and the instant background system was not online so I had to leave it in the store and return after 3 days. I was charged the instant check fee anyway. It is unlikey that if I was hot to murder someone I would have bought such a gun to do it, but the law is the law and I'm willing to vote to change it , but not screw around with it! Like I said I am certainly no expert on C&R or FFL law! I will ask again if one could offer the reason one gets a C&R instead of an FFL? Thank-you.
Kurt
