Vehicle. Gent was packing up for a hunting trip, and someone popped the glass from his PU and made off with it.

 

[10ring'r]

That is not a good thing. When packing for a hunting/range trip, firearm is the last thing to go into vehicle. Hope it gets recovered and trip can continue. Sheeet like this, really sucks a**. Mac

 

[Maggot]

FWIW I shared it on a Dallas area buddy's Facebook page, who has a shooting group. Who remembers 'Captain KickAss'?

 

[davsco]

the thumbhole stock is a little unique so hopefully it will be a little easier to find.

 

[Sniperwannabee]

Vehicles are the #1 place guns are stolen, I never leave weapons in my vehicles hopefully it gets returned

Goes in the room, hopefully he didn't have a can with it. That part would suck.
+1 for getting Eastern Insurance.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

I wonder what his Facebook, Twitter or whatever social media reads like.
Bet it starts like.... Just a few more days and I will be heading to XYZ for my dream hunt of a lifetime. Can't wait to take an oxilope with my awesome custom rifle.
Packing up the truck for the fantastic hunt of a lifetime. We leave in the morning My trusty $5K rifle is ready to bark.
Pictures included.

More like a 1/8th of meth. "Yo, dawg, looks what I gots, can ya fizz me ups?"

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Or some dumbass pawn shop will get it for a hundred dollars and then the cops will take it and hold it for a year or so while they investigate.

More like a 1/8th of meth. "Yo, dawg, looks what I gots, can ya fizz me ups?"

 

[rtB]

I mean I'll definitely give it back if I find it, but can someone post the load data for it so I can try it out before I do?

 

[dttheliman]

Just noticed the caliber , some carnie going to have fun finding 6.5 WSM

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Any 6.5 will do. Search the web for people that put 300 win mag in a weatherby. Or any other mix match.

"Yintz know what kinduh bullet dis thing shoots?"
"Just shoot turdy ought six in it. the Army designed the ought six so we could shoot it out of errybody else gun, but they cud'nt shoot it oudda theirs"

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

My brother lives in PA. He was visiting and asked me if he could borrow a rifle for deer hunting. I offered one of my 308's or a 243 and he said, ain't ya gotta 30-30?

"Yintz know what kinduh bullet dis thing shoots?"

I handed him five boxes of ammo and a 30-30.

It's called fire-forming brass.

In for the watching......

 

[PinesAndProjectiles]

Hopefully somebody goes to share a cell with Bubba over this

 

[supercorndogs]

He isn't kidding.

So, that is an FFL. They do not have a way to check NCIC (which is limited in access to law enforcement).

 

[mi223]

The seller evens know what he has. well kinda...

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

That does not mean he knows it is stolen.

 

[Clob McStrunk]

Im confused. Its stolen, but on gunbroker, and no one has called DFW Shooting Sports yet?

I’m sure they’re open at 6:30 on a Saturday morning lol

 

[Alabama556]

I hope that the fact it is on gunbroker is lucky for the owner. I would think the ffl would have a good incentive to give it back since he bought a stolen rifle.

I wonder where the scope went?

You was wondering the same thing but do we even know if one was on it when it got jacked?

Dang that’s good detective work!

Hopefully they will be able to track it back to the thief.

Because the "Gent was packing up for a hunting trip," and aiming at a trophy bull elk at 375 yards through those empty scope rings is not very precise.

 

[Slash0311]

Good luck.

Several years ago, I had two handguns stolen when my house was broken into. Fast forward 10 years. I get a call from state police. One had been recovered. Seems a guy had bought at a gun store shortly after it was stolen. He had owned it for years not knowing it was stolen. His kid had it and was found on a traffic stop. Kid went to jail for possession of stolen property. But charges were dropped aftwards because no one checked the serial number until that traffic stop. No one realized it was stolen and they thought they had bought a legit gun.

Insurance had paid but I was able to reimburse the insurance company and that gun is in my safe today.

Hope the OP can have a similar good outcome.

 

[AllenOne1]

A top 100 seller on Gun Broker. Probably about to have his entire inventory inspected and checked by the ATF.

From the website

 

[NoDopes]

Didn't Biden just instruct the AFT to a zero tolerance policy? They may lose their FFL.

I shot him a message early this morning Eastern time. I’m sure he’s going to wake up to a bunch of emails and voicemails lol

I’m not sure really what they did wrong but I don’t have an FFL either. How would the dealer know it was stolen? Face to face sales with no checks are legal in Texas. It was registered as stolen in NCIC but would assume the seller can’t cross check.

 

[Biggie1976]

Be great if he could get his rifle back.

Yeah that would put him on the small list of lucky ones that do end up getting them back.

 

[CaptNkllm]

Wowzers.... Great work guys.... I have had a few guns stolen a while back when the house robbed.. Took 2 years but got all but the revolver back.. seems the inventory storage at Metro Ate it and it was never found... It was like the Hotel California... it was checked but never checked out... Cops supposedly lost it.. 38 snub nose.. easy carry for an officer or a toss gun.. who knows.

Looks like OP will get his stuff back and if the GunBroker sell is legit he will have all the contact info from the seller so this should get interesting...Me thinks they find a bunch of stuff at this guys house.

Hope its not as deep as this seller buying stolen stuff though.. thats NOT cool.

NCIC checks are restricted to law enforcement and access only for authorized purposes.

He would have no way to know when buying it that is was stolen.

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

Glad this was found. My wife's pistol got stolen, (She left her purse in a dressing room for about 30 min in the mall) but we did finally get it back. Even still had the laser on it. Pretty sure whoever did it saw the police come into the store and ditched it in a trash can in the men's bathroom (to try and throw em off) same day it was taken. It was several months before we could finally get it back from the cops but glad to have it back

 

[346ci]

That one time posting the serial number got that ass, lol. Dealer is fixing to have a AFT visit.
