Yes he has and awaits the answer. If by chance it’s been registered I’ll get the whole gun. If not I want the barrels. Hopefully ATF won’t demand the barrels be included in the confiscation
The seller of this M6 realizes that it is contraband since no previous registration and plans on turning it over to ATF. From what we’ve read here the barrels can be sold or kept since they are not regulated. And only the receiver needs to be turned in.
I’m agreeing now with both of you. The barrel assy does have USAF Properly stamped on it. Would that also effect possible ownership of just the barrels. I’ve seen many 1911’s with similar stamping for sale.
So I think you’re saying that I could buy the barrel assembly but not the receiver. Or I could buy the receiver thru an FFL, but not the barrel assembly.
But if it has been registered, I could buy it as an AOW.
By the above logic, it is legal to own a receiver with no serial number and a short barrel assembly with or without a serial number. They can’t be owned by the same person?
Can such a receiver alone be sold to another even though no serial number. The receiver has no barrels so the SBR or...
I understand and appreciate your helping me. Finally what defines a receiver as far as NFA is concerned, serial numbered or not. And is it legal to own a unserial numbered receiver with no barrel.
Bottom line of my post is which part of this Ithaca M6 is illegal, the 14” barrel assembly with serial number OR the receiver/stock which has a hammer and trigger and no serial number. The two are held together by a single hinge pin.
So is the receiver a firearm by itself with no serial number.
Then is the barrel assembly a firearm by itself with serial number.
Neither can alone be fired. Generally a revolver frame or semi auto is the serial numbered firearm even stripped of its innards. But the barrel by itself is not...
The serial number is on the barrel assembly, not the receiver which has the firing mechanism Is it illegal to possess 14” barrels if the barrel was separated from receiver .
If above is true, each piece is legal, just can’t be assembled... I wonder how close they can be together.
I had a chance to obtain an Ithaca M6 USAF survival rifle. It’s 22 Hornet over 410. It has 14” bbls I don’t think it’s ever been registered hence no tax stamp. Is there any way to register it as an AOW to me as it has no known history.
I’ve had many MkIII and MkV over the last 30 years in all bbl. lengths and finishes. All were nice looking guns.
But I sold them all for one reason. I did not like the action at all, both SA and DA. I tried to cause I’m a Colt guy but couldn’t. My only Colt revolvers are the V spring...
