This is one of those times one should find a knowledgeable FFL and ask them how to proceed and or if they'll take in the firearm. This may be one of those cases where the stupid AWB statutes don't address what one is trying to do.

Edit to add: some additional language that may be relevant.

Sec. 53-202f. Transportation and transfer of assault weapon. Authorized actions of gun dealer, manufacturer, pawnbroker or consignment shop operator.

One for example, is if somebody moves into CT with an assault the dealer can buy it. I don't know if that still is in effect nowadays or not. A CT dealer can not bring into his inventory any "assault" weapons even if they are for sale only out of state. A CT manufacturer can make and keep or sell anything his license will allow out of state.
