So, recently, I purchased an Ortgies from an 06 through Gunbroker. I asked him before I bid whether he would accept a type 03 FFL. He said yes, he would honor all FFL types. So, I win and he e-mails me that he tried to look me up in the ATF's system and couldn't. I explained to him why - because I hold an 03 FFL and ATF's system does not include 03s. He replied, well, I called the ATF because I've never had to deal with this before, and I'm afraid this pistol will have to ship to an 01 in your state. SO, I spent about 2 hours of my day crafting a response that cited the GCA, the BATFE's regulations, included the list of C&R firearms (which listed the Ortgies) and the introductory paragraph thereof which explains the "primary benefit" of having an 03 (to ship and receive firearms through interstate commerce . . .). He was a really nice guy, and my e-mail worked, but it just goes to show you that not everyone knows what the hell we have.
