Saw this on Armslist and thought I'd re-post here.

I'd like to believe no one in our community would just "forget a rifle" but we've all done ridiculous things, right?

there are good people out there

There's been quite a few left behind firearms at MG.

Some make their way back to their original owners, other's not so much.

Left a ammo can there once with x39 ammo in it. Never have seen it again.

Right nice of him.

I dropped him a quick note to thank him for being a stand up guy.

He's trying a couple different routes to locate the owner.

I let him know about the boards here and the posting.

I would think whoever left the gun would be checking here as soon as they realized their mistake, or as soon as they figure out a face-saving excuse to use.

I found a Sig P226 on a plinking range at my local gun club. Got it back to its forgetful owner.

I did the same!

At my range, IWLA Damascus, members sign in and out. It would be fairly simple to determine who was there when it was left.

It's not uncommon, especially if somebody brings a bunch of guns to the range.

Interesting....

While I commend the person who is trying to do the right thing, I believe the person who left the rifle to lose their right to retrieve it. Yes, everyone makes mistakes that’s why pencils have erasers but c’mon misplace your firearm on the range, thank GOD the person in question wasn’t a Marine.

Best to stay calm. We're talking about two or maybe three times per year across the entire state. Go to a busy outdoor range with guns filling the racks and it's not tough to see how it could happen. But if you want to find guns left behind a frequent basis, Baltimore City is the place to be.

I'm always afraid of leaving a gun behind at Myrtle Grove. I bring too much of my collection at times for my own good. Good on this guy.

If anyone plans to go to Myrtle Grove today . this weekend maybe print out the ad and post it down at the grove and help the fellas out. I don't plan on going there until Sunday morning, so, maybe someone will be there sooner.

Happy ending.

Young fella found owner who was elated to get it back. Shocked too.

Owner apparently told our good Samaritan " you saved my marriage"... Bet the backstory there is worth hearing!

Mods can "close thread at will"

Just ask MSP. They probably have a record of it.

 

[Alea Jacta Est]

FWIW...the young fella was really worried he wouldn't find the owner. He was contemplating taking it to MSP...

I can't imagine doing that. I always inventory my items before leaving the range. Being slightly OCD does pay off in some aspects of life.

Sounds lime a happy ending, and he didnt even have to pay for it.
