  1. I was scammed out of $15 for a Rahseed magazine that I paid for using PP gift. PP told me there were no protections of any kind when PP gift is used. They did not go after the scammer. Never again.

    It wasn't a gift- it was a PURCHASE.

    Like I said- everybody wants to screw Paypal out of their fees.

  2. The guns in question are handguns so with the light rifling they would become AOWs, and require NFA registration, subject to Title II transfer requirements but with only a $5 transfer tax. They do not become DDs or SBSs.

    Sorry- your post makes no sense, Or I'm misunderstanding.

    Only AOWs under .50 caliber can be rifled to remove them from the NFA.

    Removing the barrels, however (and disposing of them) removes the gun from the purview of the NFA.

  3. ATF in recent years has been very helpful in trying to solve the issue of no person legally eligible to sign the paperwork. In several instances with which I was involved, ATF allowed a beneficiary to sign the application for transfer out of the nane of the deceased owner. The persons involved were designated beneficiaries of the estate and not necessarily specfically for the NFA firearms.

    Keep in mind two things: frst, this is a property issue for an item that belongs to the estate, so there is potential interest by other beneficiaries who will have probate standing; second, ATF has no authority concerning the property issue and is strictly limited to compliance with NFA rules.

    Apparently the name of the deceased registrant is known, which is a huge advantage. The main problem with these types of limbo NFA is that often the name of the registrant is not known and ATF cannot legally divulge that information.

    The current method of dealing with unregistered auto burglers, etc, and I understand that the gun in question is registered, is to have a gunsmith very lightly engrave rifling into the bore. This renders the gun a handgun thus no longer an AOW and removes it from NFA control. Once this done the gun can be transferred in the same manner as a revolver, pistol or other type of handgun.

    So, making this gun legal to transfer and own will take a lot of groundwork and contact with ATF if you can find a person eligible to sign the transfer.

    If not the other option might be the way to go.

    Hope this helps

    You can only rifle guns that are under .50 caliber. This would not include any 28, 20, 16, or 12 ga. guns.
