Class III firearms, such as machineguns, short barreled shotguns, etc, must be registered with the BATFE, and any transfer of ownership must be routed through the BATFE, and a $200 transfer tax paid. The buyer will also need to go through a detailed process of a background check, including being fingerprinted, getting written approval from local law enforcement, and the transfer of ownership normally passes through a dealer with a special license for those types of firearms. Since each firearm is reviewed and approved by a Federal Law Enforcement agency, the odds of buying a stolen Class III are about as low as being hit by a meteor. On the other hand, if you are not going through the process to register the transfer with BATFE, you have other problems. Possession of an unregistered Class III firearm is good for 10 years in a Federal prison. Fines are ALSO assessed in the thousands of $$$.

What recourse do you have if you unknowingly purchase stolen property?

Absolutely not. Recovered stolen property is returned to the rightful owner. If a reasonable person knows, or has reason to know, that property that has come into their possession, through gift or purchase, is potentially stolen, and that person maintains that property, they are guilty of possession of stolen property. This means that if your friend sells you a $2000.00 stereo for $100.00 (which is obviously a deal too good to be true) and you keep the property believing that it may be stolen, you could be charged with a crime. You should also keep in mind that you can say that you didn't believe that the property was stolen when you kept it; however, if a jury of twelve people think that you should have had enough common sense to know the property was stolen, you could still be convicted.

Yes. People who "receive stolen property" and then re-sell it are commonly known as "fences," but the charge could also apply to persons who knowingly purchase property they know is stolen, for their own use.

You bought a AR-15 you dont Know if its stolen can you just buy a different lower receiver to get a new serial?

With the AR-15 style rifles, the lower IS the receiver, which, by law, IS the firearm. The upper is "parts". Typically the lower is also the most expensive component. If you are concerned that you may have a stolen firearm, contact local law enforcement. Most will check a firearm to see if it is listed on the NCIC system as a stolen weapon, and if so, to contact the owner. If it IS stolen, it is not yours. If you had a gun stolen, YOU would like to have it returned- right?
