Handguns bought in 1975 registration

[Muleskinner]

If a friend bought a few handguns at a gunstore in the 1970's and the required paperwork was done, do you think the state or the feds have any records of the purchase after 30+ years?8

If you bought them through an FFL in CA, yes, the state does have the records

Might not be accurate, but the info was sent to Sac; they've gone through a couple of cycles of key-entering the paper stuff from before almost all DROS info was required to go electronically. Don't know how far they have gone back.

My first revolver that I bought in 1977 was in AFS.
