Well, what if...
you have a firearm, a "modern" one, which has no serial number and never had one. Not talking about an antique flintlock or caplock here; obviously those didn't have s/n's when manufactured. But old cheap hardware-store break-action single-bbl shotguns, one of which used to be behind the kitchen door of every farmhouse in the country, often said nothing other than, perhaps, "National Hardware Co, Omaha, Nebraska, 12 gauge proof steel" If that much. Many such are still around, perfectly useable with modern ammunition.
If a firearm was made before GCA 68, and never had a s/n, is it grandfathered in, or what?
Just curious.
