Parts only, properly demilled, no receiver parts, some parts have been cut.ħ819 42nd St W, Rock Island, Illinois, 61201, United States NPRF - Non professionally refinished or restored. PRF - Professionally refinished or restored.
If the Above Condition Rating Code Also Contains: Parts only, Properly demilled, does not include receivers, some parts have been cut. Their main concern is that unregistered MGs be under the control of someone with the legal authority to do it or be destroyed and that they do not fall into the hands of crooks, etc.Manufacturer: British Model: Fazakerley and Sten MKII ATF has not been known to seek prosecution of such MGs which are possessed through benign misunderstanding or ignorance of the laws. While there are legal penalties for possession of an unregistered MG, ATF is totally aware of the many, many MGs in possession of individuals without paperwork and in the extremely unlikely event that ATF finds an unregistered MG, such as in an estate, they will just require that it be turned over to ATF for destruction, etc. There are other ways to try and finagle the information from ATF but these methods require some subterfuge so I will not advise their use. there is a protocol for destroying the receiver which he can research.Only the receiver needs to be destroyed. that is the end of it and the executor will need to destroy the receiver of the gun. He is acting as the legal representative of the deceased so he can act as a legal proxy for the MG. The executor should be advised that he needs to secure the MG safely with him being the only person with access to it. If not they will say they have no record of it.
If ATF has a record of the serial number and the registrant they will let you know. The executor can write a letter to ATF requesting a copy of the form 4 for the serial number and type of MG registered to the deceased whom he represents saying that it has been misplaced and he needs a copy to effect a transfer for the estate. So, if you have an MG for which there is no paperwork available, at least you have the serial number and the name of the alleged registrant. Plus, now any issues must be addressed to ATF/NFA by a letter. I'm not talking about being polite but about "knowing" the history and ins and outs of the NFGA world. There is no longer a variety of people who have been working in NFA who have a basic understanding of the insane disfunction of the agency. The general trend is to pass the buck or quote the book. The new people don't know much and because they don't know much they can't help.
My interactions with ATF over the last couple years have been uniformly bad as far as being able to have a reasonable conversation with a supervisor about knotty registration or transfer problems. For many years there have been very helpful and knowledgeable supervisors available to help out.
ATF personnel roster has been cleaned out of knowledgeable individuals.
