So like a lot of people, I buy a gun, never shoot it and sell it years later, still in the box. I will need an FFL if this rule passes.

My AR-15, which I built out of parts ages ago to resemble (not perfectly) a pre A-1 model.

Smith and Wesson Model 37 (mine) and below, a Model 637 (hers).

66-8 Combat Magnum 2.75" barrel

Absolutely the least practical gun I’ve ever shot

But still fun

I love to Ratio gun grabbers to the point they turn off comments

Be gentle, I recently got into firearms

Inherited firearm with scrubbed S/N

As the title states I just inherited a firearm with a scrubbed serial from a deceased relative. The gun is a pre-war 1911 possibly 1917/18 based on my limited knowledge. Is there anyway I can recover the S/N? I can only make out the letter N. Also has anyone else been in this situation? What are some issues I may face? It's a neat piece of history and I would like to try and find more info on it.
