So, my sister-in-law is aiding a close friend with wrapping up the estate of a deceased relative. Said so departed, evidently, had a decent sized gun collection. Friend doesn't want them. Sister-in-law, though a gun owner and handgun carrier, is ambivalent. Brother, naturally, is very hip to the idea of acquiring these guns and has tapped his duly licensed hermano to handle the legal/regulatory bullplop surrounding transfer between states, etc.
I just got a message from my youngest brother asking about essentially "an old .30/30 bolt-action with no serial number or other markings". I told him if it was pre-1968, which is certainly possible considering the vintage of the other guns and the advanced age of the recently passed, and I explained to him that aspect shouldn't pose a regulatory SNAFU, provided it is that old.
Now I'm curious: any idea what he's looking at? I just asked him to look again for a model number. (This particular brother isn't a gun nut like some of the other siblings, but he's far from gun dumb either, so I suspect his report is correct.)
Thanks!
