All of those recommending that the OP just not worry about his Father getting the gun transferred into his name, if popped with a gun not registered you can turn a misdemeanor into a felony.

Since when is owning an unregistered gun a misdemeanor/felony?

Yep, before 1991, there was no FFL requirement.

If you obtained it before then and it hasn’t changed hands.........

Did you ever think to just stop and call the DOJ.

Yes, because Xavier Becerra's DOJ is interested in protecting the rights and freedoms of gun owners acting in good faith.

It's a C&R so transferring it by DROS is not a problem other then time and money. Take it somewhere you trust because there are a few shady FFLs that will switch parts around while it's on the 10 day wait. I lost my Colt Sistema barrel at Turner's in Signal Hill back in 1997.

Not for simple possession, only under specific circumstances... specifically... carrying concealed.

It's not. The only thing illegal would be the illegal transfer whereby it came into possession. That was a one-time crime, irreparable, but does not constitute an ongoing crime.

1991 was for PPT
I believe it was 1998 for Intrafamilial (which this is not)
It was earlier for FFL transfers.

Regardless, see Librarian's post. " " is not the answer.
