    Need Help

    A friend of mine has a rifle: winchester 22LR model 64A

    Would you know the value ? (it is in perfect shape)
    She got it from her father YEARSSSSSSSSS ago and does not have any papers concerning the registration or ownership.

    Should she register the rifle?
    Is it legal for her to have this rifle at home without documentation?
    How to register it?

    Thanks

      There is no registration on rifles, and if she got it from her father I believe the transfer was legal.
      Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
      Let my aim be true and my hand faster
      than those who would seek to destroy me.
      Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
      Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
      And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

          If the father ever registered it, it should be in his name and he could transfer it. If he's dead, than she could probably get some forms from the doj and fill them out and provide a death cert to get it switched over. Either way I wouldn't even do that. It is going to be a big hassle that will cost more than it should. She should just go out and enjoy shooting the gun.

          I may be completely wrong but I don't think it is illegal for her to be in possession of it unless it has been reported stolen.

          Call the DOJ from a payphone and ask them

              Rifles aren't registered unless they're something "special" like an AW.

                  There was no transfer: her father is dead and she found the rifle in the house.

                      I'd venture to guess it's an inheritance item then, me personally I wouldn't worry about it too much.

                          How could she prove it?

                          Also what if she wants to put it for sale? Does she need a proof of ownership ?
