I wish they had similar "lost and found" policies for firearms as everything else. Sure would make things a lot easier to justify. You found something that no one claimed? Wait X months and you can pick it back up and keep it. But noooo, firearms are special. You turn in a firearm and its "Wait X months and they will cut it up for scrap." So what if it might have been a historically significant find, off to the scrap heap it goes! Makes it really hard to justify turning anything in even if you do want to give any potential legitimate owners a shot at getting it back.Looks like a charter arms 44 spl? Makes you wonder why someone was hiding it?
I know someone who bought a pre-owned vehicle from a dealer and there turned out to be a Glock in a holster under the seat. Makes me think it could of been a repo car.
I've wondered how you check whether a firearm is stolen without implying that you know where it is and risking confiscation or further questions?
You can call the police to see if it's stolen. I've done it.Looks like a charter arms 44 spl? Makes you wonder why someone was hiding it?

That is an awesome find, especially since it's still kicking it around in the family!my mom found this one 40 or so years ago in a spot where people target-shot and drank all the time. been in the family ever since.

That guy is going to be extremely disappointed when the SHTF and he comes back to retrieve this, only to find a tree.Today I found a loaded revolver at work. I do landscape construction, I was digging a hole to plant a tree in. I haven't seen a thread on this so I thought I'd start one.

This is why inventory lists are essential, even if you have just one. Copy down the make, model and serial and keep it somewhere secure (like with your other paperwork, auto titles etc.). If you collect a lot it is also prudent to take inventory on a somewhat regular basis just to validate.My sister in law lost a pistol while out snowmobiling. She didn't realize it til much later. She didn't know the serial number so there was no chance of getting it back.
