    Default Help with gun transfer...

    I recently had a revolver given to me from my Father. Is there anything I have to do in the line of registration transfer? I bought it for him years ago and think it was registered to him but not sure. Just want to keep things legal. Is there a way here in Pa. to check a firearms serial # to see who it`s registered too. Thanks....

    No need for a transfer. As long as you are legally allowed to own the firearm, your father can give it to you. No paperwork needed.

    Provided that you both are Pa residents and the transfer of the gift occurs in Pa. If not then an FFL is required.
    IANAL
