How to dros a pistol already in possession?
I have someone asking how to go about transferring a pistol to them which was acquired numerous years ago without a proper dros/transfer. The previous owner is no where to be found and the current owner just wants to make things legal/right with the laws. Any help appreciated!

If it was before 1991, no paper was required for a transfer; it's entirely legal to own and use guns not known to the state, so in that case nothing needs to be done.

OK.
Why - for what specific purpose - does the current owner want his ownership recorded? For example, if he were to get CCW, and want to carry that gun, a lot of issuing agencies want the gun explicitly registered to the CCW holder. In that case, the suggested VOLREG works. Transfer 'without benefit of FFL' is a misdemeanor (PC 26500); most misdemeanors have a statute of limitations of 3 years, and this one has not been designated as a 'continuing offense'; if 'numerous years ago' is greater than 3, that crime is very likely to be unprosecutable.
