So I went to my friend's property to shoot and as we were getting the rifles out I noticed a few of them didn't have serial numbers. They were ground off by I'm guessing a grinder or dremel. After shooting, he asked me how I liked this WASR-10. It shot well and I jokingly asked if he wanted to sell it and he said he was considering it to use the money towards an AR 15. I'm considering it, but what's the deal with the serial numbers ground off? It's not stolen because he took it out of the original box with the receipt. I don't want to offend him by asking, but are there any bad things about buying a rifle with ground off serial numbers?
