But you can take this to the bank: Any gun that has the serial number missing is HOT and party to a felony. You can't sell it, you can't own it, you can't ship it.
From the ATF tracing manual:
Quote
Serial numbers are not issued by ATF. Duplication of numbers is common between manufacturers and importers and many firearms manufactured prior to 1968 were not marked with a serial number at all.
So.. somebody must be wrong. Who might that be? ATF? Or Tibbe? Hmm.
Can you explain this difference of opinion, Mr. Tibbe?
