Savage 19 NRA Barrled action
I have a barrled action only Savage 19 NRA on the auctions. I was asked if I would ship to a C&R so I went to the BATF website and found this:
The definition for curio or relic ("C & R") firearms found in 27 CFR ? 478.11 does not specifically state that a firearm must be in its original condition to be classified as a C&R firearm. However, ATF Ruling 85-10, which discusses the importation of military C&R firearms, notes that they must be in original configuration and adds that a receiver is not a C&R item. Combining this ruling and the definition of C&R firearms, the Firearms Technology Branch (FTB) has concluded that a firearm must be in its original condition to be considered a C&R weapon.
It is also the opinion of FTB, however, that a minor change such as the addition of scope mounts, non-original sights, or sling swivels would not remove a firearm from its original condition. Moreover, we have determined that replacing particular firearms parts with new parts that are made to the original design would also be acceptable-for example, replacing a cracked M1 Grand stock with a new wooden stock of the same design, but replacing the original firearm stock with a plastic stock would change its classification as a C&R item.

From what I read in the above, since a receiver is not a C&R, I told the potential bidder I would not ship to a C&R. Am I correct? Thanks in advance for any info! 0 -
"I told the potential bidder I would not ship to a C&R. Am I correct?"..........yes 0 -
I am inclined to agree and not ship, but would ask - is a barreled action the same as a "receiver"? Is this barrel plus receiver only or are all the internals present and the gun lacks only the stock and forend? 0 -
Mark Christian should be answering this I think, but I'm not sure I agree with what has been posted. There is no alteration to the reciever (the barreled action is one piece in these and the 23's as I recall) and in essence it is a complete gun sans stock? This stuff is confusing. I bought a 23 barreled action in 32-20 a number of years back and used my C&R to do it? It was complete minus furniture, so perhaps that makes a difference. 0
