Where can one find a " hot list " ?

[Juan Hunt Greer]

I have the opportunity to buy at a rational
price, a 45/70, but the owner admits that he
doesn't know too much about its history. Is
there anywhere on the web where one can go
to find a master list of guns reported
stolen? One would think that there would be,
but how to find it??? crankshaft

I don't think you are going to find a "list" of stolen guns in the Internet. However you can call your local police and they can check the serial number in NCIC's and tell you.

Thanx, Gunslinger I did have hopes.

Just make sure the local PD sends in the correct serial #.
If not, you could be in for a surprise and maybe a sleepless night or two.

Okay, I'll let it go and move on. But it still irks the &%*# out of me...

Ran across a "similar situation" recently.

With a need to protect all innocents, I had first looked at the newspapers and noticed that there was a gun show this weekend & one the next.

The following Monday, a call to the PD to see if the shooter was hot. No problems & the purchase went through.

If they would have asked about that hot S/N, I would've gladly gone to the next gun show with them to find the guy with the "hot" gun.

It might have been very difficult to actually find the seller, though.
