One of my friend's grandfather died, and being that his father was locked up for child endangerment, his grandfathers widow has to deal with a ton of guns she doesn't want. I've been helping with moving them out, but I have encountered an issue that not even an FFL was able to give me a straight answer on.
One of the guns is an SVD Dragunov, full early production furnishings and all, but it has the area where the serial should be defaced, so the number is illegible.
My question is, is this gun now considered contraband which must be handed over to the ATF for destruction? Or can my friend legally keep or sell the gun. I advised him to not even fire or take it to the range till I got this figured out.
State, if it matters, is Virginia.
