Good luck. </div></div>
I can certainty see this.
But one question came to min that I wondered about. Wouldn't ATF be interested in this person (an FFL holder) having <span style="font-weight: bold">received firearms that were not his from customers</span>, and then sold them to others as part of his bankruptcy, or at least not returned them to their rightful owners?
It is difficult for me to even begin to fathom his thinking?

I'm going out on a limb here and may very well be wrong. In fact I probably am but bear with me.
The BATF's (broad general terms) is a Federal Agency tasked with the oversite/enforcement of regulations regarding firearms, explosives, alcohol, and tobacco.
In my mind they would show interest in a case like this if the alleged were to take a private owner's firearm and sell it to say a straw man, felon, or member of Alqueda.
If the alleged sells the rifle/parts to another FFL or private owner and records the transaction/files the appropriate paperwork (4473) then they really don't have much say in it.
The issue of the rightful property owner becomes a civil matter. It may very well belong to its rightful owner. Remember though all the alleged has to do is dispute it and its then locked until arguments in front of a judge are made and he ultimately decides the outcome.
A painful process that in the long run may/may not be worth it. If it's a $300,000 Prazzi shotgun its pretty black and white what a guy's going to do. Are $1200 in parts worth the brain damage for a guy living 5+ states away? For most probably not.
Chitty deal, but that's how it goes unfortunately.
Hope it all works out for you guys.
