[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 1634314, member: 109136"] A number of years ago, I post on Gun Broker a beautiful Win High Wall. The rilfe was chambered for a 6mm/225 Winchester. Great round. A gun in Utah bought it. The the question came up about going thru an FFL to dros it. The action was built before 1900, but did not have a serial number becasue the bottom tang had be cut off and replaced by a different one to match the stock configuation. So I called ATF and described the rifle as a Winchester 1885 High Wall with a modern barrel, stock, and trigger system. Asked it would be classified as a modern rifle or a realic? (better to be safe than sorry). The agent acted confused so I asked "Are you familiar with a Winchester 1885?" I got back "I have heard of a Winchester!" Huh........ That is that last time I will ever ask ATF a question. [/QUOTE]
