Thanks everyone. So it's not sounding very promising. I would have to have this heirloom lost but I want to stay legal. I guess I'll have to contact some dealers in PA to see what they recommend. I was hoping since it was a family transfer I wouldn't need to go through an FFL to transfer. I thought I could just go to my grandpa's and grab the rifle and drop it off at a friends for safe keeping. I'm not sure how much longer he'll be around unfortunately.

I live in NJ, and my grandfater lives in PA. He is willing to give me his favorite rifle, an M1 Carbine, which is on the ban list. What are my options here? Can I take possession in PA and leave it at a friends house in PA? Or leave it stored somewhere in PA? Can I get a dealer license or something that will make it legal to own in NJ? Does it need to be transferred through and FFL or can I just go get it? or even mail it?
