Sadly, that is irrelevant, since it wasn't registered before 1986.

Damn Hughes Amendment. It really needs to be gotten rid of.

They aren't replacing all of them, just taking this particular one out of service.

Also, they can get special permission to send it to a museum. That's what happened to the unregistered minty STG-44 that found its way to a gun buyback a few years ago. Let's hope this gets a similar treatment.
