As a third party, you might do your friend a favor and call the ATF requesting the existance and disposition of that serial numbered item. If there is no number, or it is not in their database, then you know that it isn't legal to install.

Negative on that.
Information on NFA weapons is taxpayer privileged info (remember that transfer
tax?). BATF will not release info to anyone other than the owner/taxpayer. Even a request by local law enforcement will be denied unless under a court order or subpoena. Since in this case the potential taxpayer is deceased, the representative of his estate can make a lawful FOIA request for him.
