CFC goofs on classification of re-registered firearm

I put a Krinker Plinker kit on my 10/22 which makes it a restricted firearm due to the total over all length when the stock is folded. So I brought it to a reputable verifier who gave me a copy of all the paperwork and details (confirming that it is indeed restricted now). But when I got my new registration certificate in the mail from the CFC, it still says non-restricted.

Glad the CFC is on the ball... nothing gets by them!

89 year old harassed by the Registry

Just venting here... But, I need to get this off my chest...

The background on this story... A little more than 2 years ago I helped a family friend sell off his firearms. I distinctly remember placing the adds here on CGN, receiving the offers from the potential new owners, running those offers by our family friend & helping him transfer EACH one to their new owners... I then helped him box them up & ship them to their new homes...

Tonight I get a phone call from him & he's worried about a letter the CFC just sent him... To paraphrase, it says because his firearm license has expired, he can no longer be in possession of the Nylon 66 that is STILL registered in his name!!! And it gives him several options to come into compliance... bla bla bla

What a complete CROCK! That gun was transferred to A NEW OWNER over 2 years ago!!!

Lucky for him, he says he kept the paperwork! Now I have to go over there & see just what paperwork he kept... Keep in mind that this gentleman is quite advanced in age & I'm unsure about exactly what paperwork he might have...

2 BILLION DOLLARS FOLKS!!! And not a single good thing has come out of this registry other than to hassel the law abiding segment of society!!!
