C&R's are only C&R's if they are in essentially original condition and have not been screwed with. Such as a Sporterized Mauser with scope base holes and a modified bolt handle and cut off stock is no longer a C&R. Although, It is possible it may still qualify if it is more than 50 years old. But I don't think so, as ATF has ruled that to obtain C&R status, it has to be original.
