Can I use my 03 FFL C&R to purchase a M1 icon

Carbine barreled receiver or will it have to go to an 01?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

AIUI, a barrelled receiver is not "in original military configuration" and is therefore not C&R. But opinions are divided on this.

Personally, I prefer to err on the side of caution.

Send the guy a stock to put it in, and send it back to you. Replacement stocks are OK, as long as they are made to "original" spec.

This is a huge area of concern for C&R license holders. I have seen with my own eyes replies from different ATF offices regarding this and even within that organization it is disputed. One official will say it is okay while another will say it is not. The simple thing to do is cover your own butt. If in doubt then do the transfer through a dealer. Their fee is a small price to pay for peace of mind as well as keeping yourself out of trouble with the feds.

BATF's official stance can be found in ATF Pub 5300.4, in paragraph 7 of the General Information section.
