You must have not been up on all the laws when you posted this because I would not have done what you are suggesting.
I would have made it legal and gone thru the BATF not backassward like you suggest.
If worried it could have been listed this way with the BATF also but like the other posted said why not just spend the $30.00 and get Dad a C&R of his own.
Edited to add, a Staff member's should read up on what he is posting about when it comes to a subject he or she doen't know the answer, rather BATF wrote these laws not myself in this case so if you think they are wrong maybe you should write or call them sir. Further more I do not think it's right to call foul when it's in black and white for all to see if one had done his home work before hand. I understand it takes time to do this but in some cases it should be done before posting.
