I received a rifle through a FFL dealer that was not C&R eligible. (could not be shipped to my C&R license.) Now the rifle type is advertised as C&R. Can I ship to a C&R to take possession or does it need to go through regular FFL?

If you are a FFL 03 (C&R), you can ship it to another FFL 03 (C&R). You just need to log it out in your book.

A C&R can ONLY RECEIVE A C&R
Now, if the rifle was 49 when you bought it, and 50 now....

The rifle =type= maybe be eligible, but that doesn't mean that =your= rifle is a C&R.

Example. SKS =most= are C&R .... but NOT the Norinco (Chinese) models, as there is no way to determine when they were produced.

If you own a C&R eligible firearm that wasn't a C&R when you acquired it, you will need to log it into your book as "from collection" (or something similar) before you can sell it. I normally just log in my firearms that have "aged" into C&R status at the time they become eligible. One advantage of this is it would be less hassle if I were ever "inspected" and having to explain why I had a C&R that wasn't in the book.

the
"I had it prior to my C&R" is the proper response, and is what is expected
the requirement is that it be logged in ONLY at disposal.

Not true at all. Read the OP:
"I received a rifle through a FFL dealer that was not C&R eligible."

Just because a person has a C&R license in no way prohibits them from receiving non-C&R firearms in the normal means that non-licensees can.

My question to the OP is: exactly what do you mean by is now "advertised" as C&R? I would trust only the official list from the ATF and not an advertisement.

Not what I meant, but yeah, having one doen't mean you can't buy new, just have to use a dealer like everybody else.
