Not sure if this is the right forum but I have a buddy who wants to give me a bolt action 22 rifle. I think it is a remy but im not sure as I haven't seen it (he wasn't sure either). Said his dad gave it to him a LONG time ago. I asked if he ever did a transfer or whatnot and he said no. So than, can he legally transfer it to me? I'm assuming he can't so is there a way? I thought all long gun paperwork is thrown out after 10 days?

If it's over 50 years then it's considered a C&R and you're fine doing a FTF transfer as long as you are both California residents and not restricted from owning a firearm. He hands you the rifle and you say thank you.
If it isn't 50 years old then off to the FFL for the transfer and 10 day wait. The transfer between your friend and his father is perfectly legal, you only need to report intra-familial transfers of handguns (more info). -
? on the C&R status. Does that apply to any rifle that is 50 years old or older or does it have to be a rifle that has been out of production for 50 or more years?
Example would be a 1959 manufactured Winchester Model 70 versus one manufactured in 1999. Can the 1959 be handed over without the paperwork?Comment

Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

What if my grandmothers husband left me all his riffles in his will? Does that count as a family transfer?
He isn't my biological grandfather, and he didn't adopt my mother.Comment
