Application / Regulation advice Handgun ownership of deceased

Hello all,

I have a family member who recently passed away who owns some handguns I was wondering if there is anyway to have the passed down to me? The guns themselves are older cowboy style guns and I recently have been interested in Cowboy Action Shooting but obviously cant buy a revolver for the sport and this would be a great opportunity to not only get one but also keep the collectible in the family.

With the laws in place is this even possible anymore?

Thanks in advance

Some clubs can have then transferred to their own business licenses which will allow them to be stored there and used by you at the range until the freeze is over.

The NFA has a storage program as well.

Do you know how the NFA program works specifically ? The page doesn't say much details
