That's Top Shelf, My hat is off to the both of you

 

[purpledragon]

Yes, That is very honorable for sure. I hope that rifle gets back to it's owner. That will be a very good day for all involved....

 

[Rick Richard]

Assuming it is registered, can you run the serial number and potentially identify the owner?

 

[kaseyfied]

You cant just run it and find the owner.. would have to be reported lost or stolen to give a hit on that serial number in NCIC/LEDS.

Law enforcement runs serial numbers all the time to find owners. Thats were I would take it if no one claims it soon.

From the ATF website-

Firearm tracing provides critical information to assist domestic and international law enforcement agencies investigate and solve firearms crimes; detect firearms trafficking; and track the intrastate, interstate and international movement of crime guns. All firearms traced must have been used, or suspected to have been used, in a crime.

How do you know it wasn't used, just saying.

 

[L.Sherm]

All a law enforcement official would have to say is he " suspects" it was stolen

That might be true for the ATF, but the FBI actually runs NCIC. There is a file within NCIC specifically for 'lost' items (as well as firearms and anything else with a serial number/VIN number) and it is automatically queried when a serial number is checked through NCIC. We check firearms all the time without any preconceived notions of their 'histories'.

Bob, perhaps AZGFD could help. Give them a call and possibly the owner has reached out to them.

Yes, I told him that's where to go first. That's the first place I would go to look for my rifle if this happened to me.

Don't rule out a crazy ex-wife...the owner may not even know it's missing.

Or it could be missing for a reason...

Turn it into the local LE dept. and wash your hands clean of it.
