military rifle
Question
Hello,
I am inheriting what my grandfather identified as a "military weapon" from the Korean war/Vietnam war era. If this is an automatic rifle, will I have to get a class 3 license before I can legally own it?
Answer
Nick,
It is unlikely that it is a 'full auto' rifle, but if it is, you will need a class 3 license before you can take possession of it. Do you know if your grandfather had class 3 paperwork? The 'license' is actually a transfer tax. It must be paid each time the firearm is transferred. I'd contact a class 3 dealer in your are to help you navigate the paperwork process if it proves necessary.
Hope this helps,
Doug
