Regarding Bruce's post #31 about stolen guns being reclaimed by past owners from current ones, there was a story I read many years ago written by a man who had just such a thing happen. The memory is fuzzy, but I believe he bought an A grade gun at a very low price. He had a nagging feeling it was suspect, but bought it anyway. He didn't go to any great lengths to keep his gun private. Eventually, FBI agents showed up at his door one day asking to see the gun. They had concrete proof that the gun was indeed stolen. I think it had belonged to a Colonel? who was in the process of moving. The entire moving van got stolen along with all of his possessions packed within, including the AH(E?). The current owner had to surrender it without compensation. I don't recall if he took action against the seller. Does anyone remember this, and if I remembered details wrong please correct them.
