Hi all,

I'm relatively new to the NFA side of things as a FFL/SOT, and I recently purchased something from a police department that has me in a quandary.

It's a UZI Model B, the semi-auto imported by Action Arms. The odd thing is the barrel was removed. It's unusual for this group to sell them like this and it got me wondering if this was a registered SBR and they removed the barrel. Unfortunately they can't tell me anything about it (department policy) and even as a matter of just knowing I was wondering how you can determine if something has been properly registered.

As I understand it NFA branch doesn't want to tell you unless it's registered to you, but as a dealer if I come across something how do I check to see if it's been registered?

I highly doubt this was a SBR, but it raised the question in my mind what the procedure would be to check.
