Practise you however have the series numbers and the type and model of the rifle ?

If and then, you can WRITE the ATF federal administration and formally asking a history of your burglarize since you did take it registered in your name at i betoken.

EVERYONE. Reatain the series numbers, brand and model of the guns you own and have sold off. Times are looking strange.

Well-nigh states do non register long guns only I am not familiar with MN laws. Having said that when yous purchase a rifle from a dealer yous fill up out form 4473 see info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_4473

This

grade goes to the ATF and I suppose if this gun were used in a crime the person who's proper noun is on the 4473 is likely the start person they would contact. Nearly states do non require the transfer of a long gun to go through a dealer and then later on that outset transaction there may or may not exist a tape of afterward sales.

Gun laws very greatly country to state so you definitely don't want to be taking advice from people on the internet get to your state website and meet what you can dig up.

A couple of (or more) thoughts:

1) You mentioned "ex". If the "ex" was a hubby, then all is adept. If the "ex" was not a husband and you bought a weapon for him knowing he had "a by", and then the BATFE calls that a harbinger purchase. That is bad as it is a federal felony. Right now, BATFE is going after straw purchases, especially in the southwest states, every bit they are under pressure level about weapons in Mexico.

2) If the rifle was sold to a pawn shop, information technology should have been entered in the pawn store's FFL bound volume. If that happened, all is well equally at that place is a federal document showing the rifle is no longer in your possession. If non, a receipt showing the sale to a pawn shop would be a big help. If the pawn store did not enter the rifle into the jump book, the pawn shop committed a federal felony. If you sold it or pawned to a pawn shop, the rifle should not exist in your proper noun, and in that location should exist no issues.

3) Depending upon your country of residence, a rifle purchase may or may not exist registered. [eta] MN does not annals long guns.[/eta]. If information technology was registered, in that location would exist state paperwork as well every bit the federal form. Near states practise not require the registration of rifles. Thus, the only way to track purchases would be through BATFE Form 4473. That is the form ane completes when a firearm is purchased or claimed from pawn. BATFE simply gets those forms in i of two ways: i) an Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder that surrenders the license must mail service the forms to the BATFE. two) The weapon becomes of law enforcement interest and is traced by following the paperwork trail on Class 4473.

If the answer to i) is not an "ex-husband", this could be bad. So practice non reply that question online. But the rifle was disposed of in a pawn shop, so that is very good. While there are FFLs that break the constabulary, they are few and far between.

My advice: permit it prevarication. Most rifles are never used in crimes, regardless of Hollywood. Most rifles are never registered by states. Yous sold it to a pawn store. All in all, this rifle is in someone'due south legal possession.
