In spite of rumors on the internet, buying a gun in good faith that turns out to be stolen is virtually never prosecuted. If anyone knows of such a case, please send me a reference. The worst likely outcome is that the gun would be returned to its lawful owner, and the buyer might forfeit the purchase price.

Since you are paying better than the gun grabbers you should feel no obligation to take the gun “no questions asked.” I know one guy (my mechanic) who bought a stolen gun in a private sale and I think he knew something was shady becuase he had the sherrifs run the serial number the night he bought it. Caused him some hassle with 5 sherrif deputies showing up at his door but otherwise no trouble beyound being out what he paid.

Interesting collection of guns. Mostly cheap with a couple of exceptions.

Looks like a Carcano, a sporterized Mauser 93, an Arminius revolver, an H&R revolver, a Smith & Wesson model 10, an RG, a couple of odds and ends.

Does anyone know what the auto in the lower right is?
