Does the logging requirement combined with the original condition requirement actually prevent a licensee from acquiring a potentially C&R eligible firearms for sporterizing or making another disqualifying modification even if that gun was acquired on a 4473 or private intrastate transaction?
What about a previously-owned "prior to license" gun he decides to sporterize (changing it's status from non-C&R to C&R)? Normally he would have to log this out if he sold it but I don't believe you can log out to yourself.
Does the logging requirement require the C&R holder to spend time and potentially money researching serial number ranges and dates (and ATF exceptions) for every single gun he acquires or sells to determine if it needs to be logged? Many guns were available with factory polymer stocks in the last 50 years. What if the C&R status is not clear even after a good faith effort? Would searching the ATF index and updates count as good faith. Do I need to research any modificaitons already done to a gun I own to see if they are factory? What if they are not factory but similar to factory options? When buying or selling guns, it seems one must err on the side of it not being C&R eligible but when logging guns one must err on the side of it being C&R eligible. Can this be correct?
