Here is the relevant part of the email I received earlier today -
"As a result of the NY SAFE Act of 2013, effective immediately, all NY customers purchasing any CMP rifles, to include the M1 Garand, to be delivered in NY must have the rifle shipped to a NY licensed FFL dealer in NY for compliance with SAFE Act requirements.".
If by dealer they mean an 01 FFL holder then yes, we holders of an 03 Curio & Relics FFL are screwed. I tried calling the CMP Store earlier today for clarification, but was unable to get through. I am hoping they are not restricting their shipments to an 01 FFL holder. If they are there really is no basis for doing so since C&R eligible long guns are unequivocally exempt from the new legislation. That is not to say that a company cannot mis-interpret or over-interpret the law to their hearts content. It just would be a shame if they did so.
