He modified an object that you own, which means it's not your object.
If I modified a rifle to be full auto, that would be a crime in most countries. That would not, however, mean I didn’t own the rifle.
No, in your case the crime isn't the fact that you modified the rifle, the crime is that you modified it into an illegal version of the rifle. The crime is possession of a full auto rifle.
If I take a rifle that was setup for one caliber and modify it so it can shoot a different caliber, that's not illegal.
Nobody cares if you have a rifle that fires a different caliber. Selling full auto mod kits is illegal though.
