Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! What the guys are trying to tell you it's that just owning that gun is a federal crime. Probably at the time the serial number was eradicated , it was okay. But in 1968 the gun control Act required that each gun have a unique serial number and that number could not be altered or eradicated. While it's highly unlikely that a Federal Officer would come into your house to find that gun, you wouldn't want to leave your family members something that might get them in trouble. At the very least it would be confiscated and it would lose its heirloom value. I think that if you approach them honestly and tell the BATFE that you discovered that the gun had an illegal serial number , they would allow you to keep it after it got a new number.
