This does bring up an interesting point - the "stuff" that is out there. A friend of mines father worked for a mail order gun company in the late 50s. One day a load of Korean war M1 carbines came in, and my friends father was given the task of taking them to the local sandpit to make sure they worked...loading 3 rounds in each gun, all went bang, bang, bang, except one went BRUUP... looking close he noticed the selector switch. He checked all the other guns and no others had the selector. returning to work, he asked the owner if instead of a paycheck, could he take one home. Told yes, its not hard to figure which one went home with him. As far as I know, his father still has it. I imagine to inherit this gun, my friend would first want to contact the ATF?
