I have just brought home a mauser banner rifle, standard modell that I bought thinking that it was an Israeli 7.62. Serial number B56313.
I recentally purchased a k98 barreled receiver off of gunbroker. Told the guy i would send a payment and then have my FFL send a copy. 2 weeks later i get a box AT MY HOUSE with the barreled receiver in it. Talked to the guy on the phone and says he didn't know he had to send it to an ffl. Turns out there is NO serial number on it.
Nothing even resembeling a serial number. I turned it over to my FFL and it is being brought to the ATF in our city. Emails back and forth and the guys says that the NGA66* underneith the waffenampt on top of the receiver can be used as a serial number according to his ffl or aft office. Also says that he heard that because it is over 60 years old it might not originally have a serial number and is extreamly collectable because of the bnz45 stamp I asked for a refund and he says he will but not the shipping. Then he tells me to Pack it back up and send it to him!!! Not even mentioning an FFL Has anybody heard of this? Alot has been said back and forth this is just the major stuff that has happened.
Just wondering if anybody has heard of this no more smiley. Sorry about not describing the whole thing enough. Lot has been going on and its waaayyy to much to type. I bought it and paid for it and sent my ffl his info. The morning i get the box in the mail (illegal) he calls me to ask why my ffl is sending a copy. I let him know that thats how it should have been done. He went on to tell me that i should treat it as if i had bought it off him as a private seller and not to worry about it (illegal).
I called my ffl and brought it over right away. We both looked it over and couldent find anything looking like a serial number except where it looks to be removed. (illegal) Its really not even about the condition of the piece that bothers me anymore. Its the fact that it was mailled illegally, then i was told to not do anything, then to send it back illegally, and now its all of a sudden legal. Even if i kept it (which i wouldnt ever have) no gunsmith would ever touch it (i hope not) without any numbers on it. BUT this applies to guns made without a serial number.
The law requiring a serial number comes from GCA 1968 (same act covers mailing guns in US post). Hard to imaging Mauser making an action without a serial number, but it could be.

What is much more likely is that at some point the number on your Mauser was removed (ground/machined off), and that gets it into sticky legal ground, as it is clearly an illegal act to remove the serial #, and most states have their own laws making it illegal to posess a gun with the serial # removed.
Removed is not the same as never had a number. There is a clear distinction in law.
I'm afraid you might be out the money and the rifle both, in the long run. If BATFE 'experts' determine that the number has been removed/obliterated, your only realistic course of action is to surrender the gun to them. They might be interested in pressing charges against the fellow who illegally shipped it as well. Good luck with this, and congrats for recognizing it and taking the right actions! Hope it works ouot for you. Baixar Gratis Musicas Anos 60 70 80 Internacional more. Whatever i am going through now is nowhere near what would happen if i ever got caught with it.
