First time?
Mine was a pre-A1 M16, likely stolen from the USAF by her late brother. No papers. Wish I could have had it. No, I didn't dime her out. |
|
nobody ever brings me cool stuff....but then again, I don't want any felonies.
|

I've still got a scar on my hand from cleaning one of those hogs.
|

We had a guy come in and ask about the 60mm mortar in his trunk.
Told him to turn it in. |
|
|
I would have bought it from her on the spot and parted it out.
|
|
"Thank you ma'am. I'll notify the proper authorities right away."

Neat! What happens next? Is there any possible ending other than ATF puts it in the crusher?

Quoted: I would have bought it from her on the spot and parted it out. View Quote You're still in illegal possession of the receiver until you destroy it. I guess you could buy the parts and make her keep the receiver. Not a good position and risk to take for a gun store that already has a target on it back. I guess if you were just a customer who walked in and no one knew. But still..lot of risk to have anything to do with that receiver. |

What's the procedure here? Decline to accept it and tell her to call the ATF?

Quoted: I got there right after she left, all those guns on cart came with it. Husband died and she didn’t want the guns. The M-60 had a BFA on it so we took it off and it still has a good bore. I told him to cut it up and sell parts kit. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Story? I got there right after she left, all those guns on cart came with it.

Someone failed to let a buddy know to take the guns and didn’t inform the wife of the true value. |

No she just brought them in, gave them to him, and left apparently. ?? |

Quoted: I would have disappeared it. View Quote Quoted: Yeah, this thread wouldn't exist. View Quote Sgt Shulz: I know nothink! |

How do you know it isn't a transferable with the paperwork missing?

We had an old timer bring in a live STG-45 in pretty clean shape. We explained to him that we couldn't touch it, and discussed his options. Poor old chap just wanted to sell it and couldn't understand what the issue was.
Perhaps my most interesting encounter was the lady that wanted us to take some "explosives" her former renter (SEAL from Coronado) had left in her apartment. I suggested she call the fire department and have them remove it. She didn't want to do that, and insisted on driving it over to our shop. I told her to leave it in the trunk, and I would help her. It turned out to be mostly dummy ordnance - mostly. |

so i ask the dumb question. how do you know it was not a legal transferable nfa m60. they do exist.

Do you know for a fact if it was a post sample or unregistered? If it was a transferable, the proper thing to do would have been to have it go to her on form 5 if it wasn’t on a trust, then form 4 it to the store or any SOT. You can cut it up, and you might as well draw $100K from the bank and light it on fire. Also if she just came in and dumped a bunch of guns on the store and left without providing contact info/identification, your store could still get in trouble over title I items if the ATF audits your acquisitions/dispositions books and determines not enough info was documented on her transfers to the store. |

And not because it would get me into trouble, but rather I cannot believe how this dude somehow lived the life he did. Notevenmad-thatsamazing.gif |

Neat
What's up with those rifle stocks on the lower story of the cart? Was this guy like 5 feet tall or is there some distortion? |

Fair enough, though there are a lot of FFLs/SOTs who don’t know what they are doing. |

View Quote Possible but probably unlikely especially considering the rest of his collection. Doesn't look like the sort of guns that go with a registered M60 if that is the total of his collection. But yes possible. |
