    You are right in that all EG Makarovs are C&R eligible. If this all revolves around the seller refusing to ship the pistol to you on your C&R FFL (99% of the time no one wants a C&R ruling simply for reference purposes) you cannot use that information to force the seller to ship to you if he doesn't feel like it.

    If by "brown book" you mean ATF P5300.11, page 25, that is THE official authority. Just ask him to look it up:

    "Makarov, pistol, Russian and East German, caliber 9mm Makarov."

    OTOH, your C&R may not be valid to receive a handgun in certain localities. Federal law takes precedence over local firearms laws.

    EDIT: PA has no restrictions on a C&R. But, like Mark says, you can't make him ship to you with a C&R. It's happened to me, & I just tell the seller "...then, I'm not interested in it." I just take it as a sign that this is a seller I shouldn't get involved with.
