Strictly speaking, it's neither, but I know that's not what you meant. Owning or possessing a gun that is actually stolen CAN be a felony, however, it isn't always a crime. If you find out you have a stolen gun, you can, in most cases, turn it in to the local police without being charged with anything.Added: The biggest factor is if you KNOW that it IS stolen, or SUSPECT that it MIGHT be stolen. If you do not eliminate the doubt and confirm its legality you could be charged with Receiving Stolen Property.

Unfortunately, this is a Class D Felony in 48 states, and a Class E felony in the other two. The BATFE regulates prop weapons, and require that the plug be permanently affixed to the barrel by the Manufacturer. Hope this helps.
