"hypothetical" Found a 1911 in my grandfathers stuff....

This is a "hypothetical" story

So say I was given a trunk of my gran-pas old stuff like 15 years ago after he died. It was in storage and I never went through it. What if I just went through this trunk and found some really cool stuff like a Springfield M6 Scout (really low serial number) and a 1911 (with a 1915 - 1918 serial number).

As per this: Colt: S/N 108,601 to 290,000 = Feb. 8, 1915 to May, 1918

What would I have to do to make these guns legal in MD's eyes? Though I think the M6 is the 18" version.

I'd probably say he gave it to me 30-40 years ago. Hypothetically.

well since he gave it to you several years if not decades ago, your fine

Amen. Unless you're 18 years old which could be a problem :innocent0

Wow you are really good at hypothetical questions. Very specific.

Any "hypothetical" pictures.
I am a visual guy and it will help me think of a better answer

Only if both of them were MD residents and gave it to him prior to October 1996.

If both were not MD residents, but residents of the same state at the time of gifting, you would have to check that state's law about the transfer.

Or were younger than 21 on 9/30/1996.

Your hypothetical age would play strongly into this hypothetical situation.

Why, hypothetically, would one want to register a hypothetical gun when, hypothetically, it isn't on anyone's hypothetical radar. If it were hypothetically me, I would keep quite about it.... hypothetically. And just remember not to shoot anybody with it.

Cheers.

Beat me to it

Hypothetically - The gun (trunk it was in) was given to me back in 1993. At the time I was 23 years old.
