Yes legal to own. Problem is, he has no proof of how he acquired it. It is not legal for them to purchase a handgun. So unless grandpappy gave it to him, how could have legally obtained it??? If he received it through inheritance then there would be paperwork proving that.
I still say its the FFL's mistake. HE needs to make good on the deal if you bring it back. If he wants to DEMAND you bring it back, then i would DEMAND a wilson combat 1911, or at least a colt 6920. Honestly, the guys license and business should be worth at least that. How else is one supposed to learn from their mistakes unless they get a little bite in the ass??

If he filled out a 4473, the ATF knows where it went.
That might depend on whether the dealer actually did his job and processed it. I'm wondering if the dealer ever logged the gun into his book.
Any updates ?
I think he is holding out for 3 new pmags with windows........................................there just sounds like more to the story.

This... Honestly it sounds like the dealer did some shady business and now could possibly be in trouble.
I would do one of the 3 things...
1. Hold the gun for ransom for a AR (Seriously not a good idea)
2. Call ATF myself at risk of loosing the gun and getting to the bottom. If nothing else, you loose a gun and put a dishonest, theif in jail.
3. Keep the gun and tell the dealer you sold it a while ago, F him.. it is your gun anyway. But if AFT knocks I wouldn't let them in, but gladly hand over the firearm with a receipt of some sort.
I would do 3 myself but there are more options...
O and to those saying 20 or under can't buy a handgun.. Yes, Yes they can actually just not from an FFL.
Which sounds like what happened, Kid dropped gun off, came back to get it and the FFL couldn't legally give it back. Parents wouldnt come get it so the FFL had abgun in limbo until he desided to sell to you... andbforgot to cross all his eyes and dot his T's....
So did you go back to the store or what? What's the update???? Enquiring minds want to know...
Interested to know how this all plays out.
