Not jumping on you. Incident is clearly long in the past, but you should really contact an attorney to help you resolve this matter. If you, in fact, have a felony conviction and purchased a firearm you would be committing another (federal) felony by buying and/or possessing a gun. Just because you pass NICS (sometimes) doesn't mean you are eligible to possess a firearm. If you look at the 4473 form that you fill out when buying, you have to state (under penalty of perjury) that you have never been convicted of a felony (or that it was pardoned, expunged, vacated, etc.).

So please be careful and work with an attorney.
