i know pawn shops are required to run serial #s. aren't 01ffl required also?
perhaps an IP will chime in.

there are 3 guns listed as stolen with the serial number of the gun in question here. Hotgunz.com doesn't have a single one listed. Better then nothing though I guess.
also before any confusion the other two guns with the same serial number are different guns. I know how to read NCIC haha
Sill an antique federally and under MD law if pre-1899 regardless of cartridge. The definitions are pretty much identical and both exclude any firearm made pre-1899. The test for modern ammo availability only applies to replicas of antique firearms and whether those are treated as antiques or modern. But like you said never hurts to play it safe.
ATF regs regarding antiques.
It all comes down to the definition of "readily available."
Since it is just paperwork, we always take the conservative/cautious route to protect ourselves and our customers from future blowback of any kind.

Does the report show a date when the firearm was reported stolen? I wonder if this firearm could have it's lineage traced. How many times has it been transferred since it's reported theft date?
Just curious.
Can a FFL run a check on guns in his inventory ? If yes, the selling FFL should definitely return the money.
The sad thing is there is a good chance that the victim of the theft is deceased and the estate admin doesnt want to reopen 'for that old piece of junk'. In that case this historic piece may end up in the ATF shredder.
So I spoke to Jason today and the seller will be giving him a full refund. Also there is a very rare chance but he might be able to buy the Colt Back from the owner.
Turns out the owner is a FFL in a small town in Ohio and does gun shows on the regular. In 1997 a store employee stole approximately 50 guns, most of which turned up in Florida not long after. Out of all the guns stolen apparently only two were missing........well now maybe just one.
The good news: Seller totally did a stand up thing and advised that a check would be going out today.
The bad news: No Colt Lightning for Jason
More good news: I found a Model 10 inscribed MPDC and gave Jason the lead to fill his MPDC revolver hole wait what???
The new revolver is in beautiful condition.

Was the original FFL in Ohio where the gun was stolen reimbursed by an insurance company? How would that affect current ownership? Insurance co or FFL?
