My buddy is applying for a license for a colt 45 which is currently on his mums name.Problem is she hasn't re-licensed the firearm on her name since 1996 or something close to that.The firearm is currently in her possession will that affect his application?Should she rather hand it in to a dealer while he applies?Any advise guys?

The S.A Hunter's court ruling states that all firearms licensed under the old act, are still valid. Thus her 'old' license is still valid, which means she can still be in possession of the firearm while your friend applies for a license for the Colt.
