All Winchester model 1886 rifles were given a serial number at the factory, stamped on the tang. If there is no serial number on the tang it is likely that the tang was replaced at the factory. This was not unusual. Other common reasons for no serial number: 1. The gun has been aggressively cleaned and the number may have been buffed off. Serial numbers 1 to about 120,000 were lightly stamped. 2. The gun is a stolen firearm where the number was deliberately filed off. These firearms should be shunned by all shooters and collectors.
all colt SAA pistols have serial numbers. If the serial number was filed off then the gun is Illegal to have, and without serial can't tell when made...............
Contact your local law enforcement agency.If the owner reported it stolen and could provide the serial number, most likely the gun was entered into the NCIC (National Crime Information Center) database. Any law enforcement officer should be able to query the database to see if the gun is entered. If the owner could not provide the serial number, or it was filed off, chances are it will be much harder to trace.************Please note- US law makes it a serious crime to possessany firearm which had had a serial number removed or defaced.
No. A separate action would have to be filed in the Civil Divison of Court.
It really depenends. If you purchased the rile knew the guns serial number should be registered to you wether it be with SLED or even on your receipt. If your firearm was stolen then you should have filed a police report so whenever it turns up in a drug raid or something or even if your familiy memeber gets pulled over with it on them it will be returned to you. However if you do not have a police report and decide to get the firearm back from your accused family memeber this could lead to you assaulting them. Listen report the firearm stolen, if you know for certain your family member has it let the cops ask them and press charges
