Found or unfound?

Can someone, say, a friend or a friend or an Uncle's cousin of mine, find an MP-40 in a potato field in Idaho (perchance), and get this gun registered at this late date?

Not that I found a gun in a potato field in Idaho, just asking...

No.

(but talk to me next time you are in about the value of it's "parts" to an NFA manufacturer like myself)

Translation: Send it to him and he will let you shoot it!:confused::rofl::D

just a suppose question. Thanks for the replies. There seems to be an uncle of a friend of a friend of mine that was in the 3rd Army under Patton and seemed to have mailed him an MP40 to a friend of a friend that dug a hole in Idaho and this weapon has just now been dug up. The friend of a friend of mine knows I do these tax stamp things and has offered it to me.

thanks to all for keeping me out of levenworth... But it is a shame, all matching # including 3 matching # mags... I mean, not that I would know, it's only what I was told by a friend of a friend of a cousin of mine...

nevermind.

some kids I remember reading about in an obscure news paper, used to shoot this gun back in the 60's and early 70's during family reunions held on the 4th of July. It was a machine gun then and is now... I'm not so sure parts counts matter any...

What amazes me is that a cousin of a friend of mine that I don't know found it again after 30+ years in shallow ground behind the potato bunker near Rexburg Idaho...

Being the gun-nut of the family of a friend of mine they have asked me the value. I've told them tonight to dig another hole and pretend they never saw it...

Just don't start a new thread and post pictures of it, like the last guy that asked this kind of question. :up:

Don't worry, aint gonna happen. Ugly family bid'ness... We'll take care of it out on the farm in Anis Idaho.... Let it rust in piece

Funny thing is the list of registered weapons is longer than when it started. You might try meeting an elected official in a restroom stall and ask them???

Could this friend of a friend cousins relative not strip the parts and sell them while the receiver disappears back to the field? Just sayin.:up:

I think for the trouble this could cause, it's best left in the ground. In it's well oiled canvas rapping. Let the next generation discover it again. Kinda wish my uncle's friend of a cousin of mine had taken taken care of it in 1968.

Rust in piece?? for SHAME!!! cosmoline that sucker and put it back in the ground!!! THEN keep your teeth together and leave it alone for a long long time...

I didn't read where you said leave it alone in it's well oiled bag for the next generation..but that was my thinking exactly!

MP40... What MP40? I never saw no MP40!

Put it right back in the ground where it came from. I think if you tried to turn it in there would be a whole lot of questions asked and suspicions raised.

Oh, and you might want to read up on caching over in the Survival Subform, prior to returning from wince it came.

Just a though.

According to an ad on GB there is someone in Germany that is making brand new semi-auto receivers for it. The uncle of a friend of a friend of yours could get one those and put the full auto receiver back in the field. :D

Joe, why couldn’t this (in its full auto state) be registered? I’m not questioning you I’m just wondering what is supposed to happen when this stuff “turns up†in estates, etc.

Sometimes a gun can be registered by an SOT as a post sample. There was a Thompson at On Target that came about in much the same way. As far as getting it on the reg as transferable you have to have pull with some high up people.
