First of all, this rifle is not in my possession.
A little background, I know a guy that I met through work that has in his possession of a rifle from Katrina. The story goes that his son (a police officer at the time) was given one/two right after Katrina hit. The rifle is engraved "Prop. of US Government" and has the third hole for the full auto sear. He did not know what he had in his possession until recently when he spoke about this rifle given to him from his son. Now that he knows what it is, he is afraid of getting "caught" with it. Since he has no paperwork or tax stamp for this rifle, he wants to get rid of it, but he is a gun guy and does not want to destroy it.
I have asked several LE people if they would run the serial number just for background purposes (to make sure the gun isn't flagged "stolen" or otherwise), but no one would run it.
My question - How does one approach this in a legal way? Should he get a trust/apply for NFA rifle? Does he just leave it in a safe and let someone else deal with it once he is gone?
