I saw these on another forum and the answers didn't seem right to me so thought to ask the experts!
If a bolt action and barrel are called a barreled receiver why is a barrel and action on a lever gun called a barreled action?
If I requires a 01 FFL to do a transfer of a barreled receiver does it require the same for a barreled action?
And finally what part of a weapon has the historical value>
Using some of the favorites as an example,
If you rebarrel a sharps in a different caliber does it lose its historical signifigance?
Martini Henrys come in just about every caliber but if you rebarrel an old one does it lose its historical value?
The question was originally about a Gahendra rifle. What part of that rifle holds the historical value?
The action? It is the part that is unique , the rest is window dressing I think!
The person that posted the question on another forum was taken to task by some of the purists who as he posted simply knock its horns off and wipe its posterior and hang it on the wall and say they are preserveing history!
How about some answers
