You only have 2 choices, first believe it is registered and find the stamp, second if you cannot find the stamp, hire a knowledgeable attorney to interface with LEO to see if there is an NFA record or otherwise surrender the weapon. There is no way you want this coming back to you.
How did you know? You must have one like it as well
while we are on the subject.................If I will my suppressor to my son and I croak it will take him 7 months to get a license.
Who holds the suppressor in the interim?
Who holds the suppressor in the interim?
Is it in your name or a trust? If trust, you can amend where he can take possession immediately.
You could solve the issue by eventually putting the Suppressor into a trust and then when your son is old enough have him on it so if something happens he still has it with no delay.
Worth reposting.
HermosaBeach did hit the nail on the head, it's worth a watch. As mentioned, the gun might be registered under another name (an uncle, or a serial number/description might be on record with numbers transposed. There are also dupes. Not mentioned is you could have a stamp and the ATF may have lost their record.
the executor is allowed to hold it without an license? ok. btw its in my name not a trust.
Yes (if it was in a trust, the trustee would hold it).
