Where is the serial number on new elgin arms shotgun?
These were made many years ago, and may not HAVE a serial number. Serial numbers were not required by law on rifles and shotguns until 1968. Yes, it is perfectly legal to own a firearm that never HAD a serial number IF the law did not require it at the time the gun was made. It is illegal to remove any serial number from a firearm, or to possess one that has had the SN removed.
Can you register a gun off the streets?
no you can not. buying a firearm off the street means that the gun is illegally seized or bought. due to this, serial numbers are scratched off by the seller (so it can not be traced) which makes registering a firearm impossible. in addition, any attempt to register a firearm without its serial number will cause you to do a lot of explaining to authorities. Is it the term "off the street" that bothers you? The term "private sale" is more "politically correct". A private sale is legal in most places. If you feel driven to "register" your legal, newly purchased firearm, if it is indeed not stolen, or reported lost by the last owner, there is no reason you cannot register it. Of course, if the serial number is eradicated, the firearm is no longer legal. But why would you want to?
Where are the numbers on a Mossberg 151m-b?
If you mean the serial number- there is none. Rifles and shotguns (like your Mossberg) made prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act were not required to have a serial number. And yes, it is perfectly legal to own a firearm with no serial number. It is highly illegal to REMOVE a serial number, but guns that never had one are a different matter. I have 9 of the older Mossberg .22 rifles- only the one made for the US military has a serial number.

Where is the serial number located on a Stevens twenty gauge?
It MAY not have one. Serial numbers are placed on the receiver (frame) of all firearms- legally the receiver IS the firearm- everything else is simply "parts". However, prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act, no law required serial numbers on rifles and shotguns- and most low- middle cost guns HAD no serial number. While it is highly illegal to REMOVE a serial number, if a gun never had one, it is perfectly legal.
