Sorry, I was thinking of private party sales of used guns, those are exempt from the certification requirement. So in the case described by the OP, certification shouldn't apply, as it would be a private party transfer.
What about when a dealer displays a "consigned" used gun? I would see Colt sr 70's in gun dealers "used" cases - were those legal because they were on consignment?

Other wise the drop test is mandatory.
Colt S&W etall are not going to submit a discontinued gun for a drop test...that is why so many guns are not legal for sale by dealers.
Ask me how I fking know, I dare ya!
