It is interesting that a FFL is required. Wonder why? I would surmise that it is either a recent cut-away made from a functioning firearm that is "on the books" or the frame is still configured such that it would function with a replaced cannon assembly. Anybody know or care to hazard a guess?

Ron, it could be they just figure it is best to do that?

I have seen people ask for FFL when a C&R works, or even a FFL for an obviously antique rifle, they just wanted to cover their bases or they just don't know the rules?

Can't guess why a license is required for the cutaway. Worthy of note, however, that a C&R -is- a FFL. Just a particular category. Maybe those folks requiring "FFL" just aren't making a distinction in their ad.
