I have no NFA items and am only loosly familiar with the rules / regs / process. I need to tap into the braintrust here for the following scenario:
Local estate is selling off a shotgun from the 20's / 30's with a 17 3/4" barrel. I highly doubt that it is currenlty registered.
My basic understanding is that it would be a SBS given that it is not an antique. Correct?
If it is an NFA item, what would be my options for legally taking posession of it?
- take the barrel off while and have someone else hold onto it while I file application?
- take the whole gun to a gun store and have them hold onto it while I file papers?
- other option that makes more sense?
