Just a friendly reminder to do your own research when purchasing a C&R and don't just trust the word of the seller. I had a recent experience where a very well respected auction house posted a handgun as manufactured in 1970 (thus C&R eligible). I did my own research based on stamped date codes in the frame. Turns out it was manufactured in 1995... definitely not C&R. I had the gun transferred to an FFL-01 for legal transfer, but had I not paid attention, it could have been problematic for both the auction house seller and myself. This is the second time I've caught something that was being sold as C&R that really isn't.
I'm too pretty for prison, so I remain vigilant. It is very easy to make an honest mistake in this game... unfortunately, ATF won't be cutting anyone a break because of an honest mistake.
Stay safe, my friends.
