Does it have a wire stock on it? If yes it is an SBR and to be fully
legal has to be registered, that means paying the tax stamp fee and
registering it in your name. If it doesn't have a stock it is a pistol
and falls under whatever the pistol requirements are for your area.
IF it has a stock and you want to check to see if it is legal the ATF
can tell you if you contact them and give them the serial number and
make of the firearm. As for the transfer, it would be easier if it was registered but isn't that hard even if it wasn't. Unless you happen to
be in a state where ownership isn't legal, so check the local laws first....
