The rifle =type= maybe be eligible, but that doesn't mean that =your= rifle is a C&R.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?
Not true at all. Read the OP:A C&R can ONLY RECEIVE A C&R
Now, if the rifle was 49 when you bought it, and 50 now....
