Finding NFA items

**AssGasOrBrass** · 12-01-16, 02:25

Out of curiosity, if someone found NFA items while cleaning out a dead relatives home what can be done with them?

Paperwork also found?

MG? Or something else?

Senecio is hypothetical.

What should be done if:
No paperwork found, but items were attain legally.
1) an MG or MG parts are found.
2) silencer or silencer components found

Thanks

This is a commonly discussed hypothetical.

You could ask the BATFE to look it up in the NFA registry, but then usually someone says that the registry is so completely jacked that it's impossible to find any records.

Then the next poster says, "Shhhhh!"

I'm of the opinion that if I don't have the paperwork, and the BATFE doesn't have the paperwork, then get my prints off it and get it the hell away from me.

You don't pay for the gun, you pay for the permission slip.

Tony K has a post on ARFCOM that may help: So, you found an MG in the attic

For other stuff, you need to know who it was registered to, assuming you don't want to just surrender it with no desire to get it back. Certified copies of the forms should be available from the ATF.

Might be better to have a lawyer or SOT call on your behalf.
