If the gun does not belong to your family history then just turn it over to the ATF as found contriband, if it is stolen or belongs to some family they will contact and get it back to them or destroy it.
in the situation described even if it is registered it is not registered to you.
Having an NFA regulated firearm is subject to up to 10yrs in federal prison or up to $250,000 fine or both for each violation. Now that you have blab blab blabbed in public about having the gun, it is going to be hard to claim you did not know about the laws when you try to sell the gun to an undercover officer, or sell it to a biker who gets popped with it and brings officer friendly back to you.
Call the police and have them come pick it up.
You would do way less time if it was a kilo of drugs that you just found on the street.
