Thread Title: "demilled,non-firing"
(no avatar) How about a seperate category for these. I like to collect older military and sport guns but I like them to shoot. I've read quite a few long descriptions of guns only to find out in the last sentence that it doesn't fire. The less I have to weed through things I have no intention of buying the more I would concentrate on sellers items I would buy. Just a thought.

duma, If an is a non-weapon/firearm, and does not require an FFL to transfer it, it should not appear in a firearms category. If it does require an FFL to transfer, it should appear in a firearms category.

If you note exceptions to this, please let me know at bob@auctionarms.com.

gov2mod Bob, what about pre 1898 firearms? They belong in firearm categories but don't always need FFL's.

Correction: pre-1899 (the cut-off date is 1 January 1899) NEVER need FFL's (except in one or two states) because they aren't legally "firearms" under the Gun Control Act. They are in fact specifically defined as NOT being "firearms" under the Act. Almost all states--even the District of Columbia--use the same definition.

Of course they should be in the "firearms" listings, but legally speaking they aren't.

Where something is listed depends on who lists it: there's one seller on this site who consistently puts CLOTHING in "firearms" categories, and though I have called AA's attention to this, the mis-listing continues unabated.
