    Help With Purchasing Some Inherited Guns Please

    So we've been contacted by someone that wants to sell a bunch of guns he has inherited from his uncle. Most of the guns are okay/normal and some of them may or may not be assault weapons. Some of the guns in question are a Springfield SAR-8, HK SP-89 and various AR's. He doesn't know the history of these guns as his uncle never talked about them. His wife didn't even know he had them.

    I have a few questions of how we can/should proceed?

    1) Would we be able to legally convert the SAR-8 and SP-89 to a Non-AW configuration and purchase them?

    2) Is there a way to find out if the SAR-8, HK SP-89 and AR's are registered AW or if they are unregistered AWs?

    3) If they are unregistered AW's what must happen to them?

    4) Could we have the customer bring in the AR's to have them stripped of all the parts and then cut the receivers in half? (He doesn't want them and would rather us just dispose of them)

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I think the current law allows registered AW to be sold to a AW-FFL, sold out of state, or turned into law enforcement.
    If they are unregistered, I guess you could strip them for parts and turn in the receiver to law enforcement.
    If they were registered by the owner, there should hopefully be some DOJ paper work for them.
    I think there is a time frame for whoever is handling the estate to take action. I might be wrong, but 90 days from time of death sticks in my head.

      Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!
