Depends on where you are. In MOST of the US, there is no registration of ownership of ordinary firearms. Federal law (18 US Code section 922) provides for receiving a firearm by bequest, so long as possession of that firearm is legal in the receiving state. You could check with a local gun shop to see what is required in your area, but in most cases, there ARE no requirements.
