My who uncle who passed away earlier this year wanted me to have his S&W 686-2. He made this known to my family and my Aunt obliged and now I physically have the gun. But no paperwork or transfer of ownership took place before he died. Does anyone know what I have to do to become the legal owner of this gun in CA? I've tried to do some research about this on my own but found unclear and sometimes conflicting info. I also could not find this gun in Roster of Certified Firearms, found the 686-6 but thats it. A few people have told me that its not a big deal to have this gun registered in my name, just dont do anything no range will ever ask about it. Does anyone know what I have to do for get this gun registered in my name???
