I want to propose a theoretical situation, but please bear with me.
Let's suppose a friend of mine was remodeling a house his family just purchased. The house was over 100 years old, and he was ripping out everything down to the studs, basically redoing the entire house. Suppose upon tearing down the walls, he found a door behind a solid wall. Suppose through said door was a 8x6 room, filled with metal racks. On each rack sat a variety of long guns, carefully packed in grease and sealed for long storage.
Let's suppose that among the rifles were several ak47 variety rifles, among others, in pristine (perfect unfired) condition, all with overseas stamps and markings, all fully automatic. Let's assume these guns had been sealed behind that wall decades prior to 1986, and did not exist as far as any registries or agencies were concerned.
If this were a real scenario, and a friend found himself in possession of let's say above a dozen such rifles of extreme value, what could he, or should he do in order to remain in full compliance with the law?
