I asked a while ago if a Ruger Old Army was required by Federal ATF law to have a background check for purchase in Minnesota;

Question for the experts;
Cabelas is telling me that a Ruger Old Army requires a FFL background check, and a permit to purchase or a carry permit to buy a Ruger Old Army in Minnesota.
This is used in their gun library and is not modified and does not include a conversion cylinder.
They have asserted this is required by law and not a Cabelas store mandated policy.
Thank you in advance for your responses as I am hoping to be a member of the club -
I am still looking for advice and have been looking for an attorney for advice
I do not want to die on this hill and could easily pass the background check
However I have never been able to abide bully’s imposing arbitrarily
To be clear
It does not have a conversion cylinder
It is not modified
There is no state , local or Cabelas rule or restriction
I actually purchased this without background check over a month ago and a a couple of weeks ago they have been calling daily demanding I bring it back.
according to ATF regulations an unnecessary background check is subject to a $10k fine and loss of FFL
privileges
the reason Cabela’s state this is required is because the Ruger Old Army is not a replica of a firearm made prior to 1890 and because it can be easily converted.
I am dumbfounded by this and their harassment
