I was interested in a shotgun on an auction site. The gun is over 50 years old, and the seller in his description stated only FFL. I wrote to him and asked if he would accept a C&R. Came back and said no, that there was no way for him to check an 03 on the ATF site. I wrote back and said that it should not concern him as I would be the one going to jail for fraud.

I have had this happen another time when the seller said the same thing.
A seller does not need either license to ship a shotgun to a person that does posses either license as long as gun is older than 50 years for the C&R.

Are these people just paranoid or just don't want to understand the laws of the ATF?
