Whenever you do buisness with a "Questionable" Source, Get everything in writing.

Yep. Tough lesson there. The "Good Doctor" came with a good reputation according to the people who were to sponsor his membership. He belonged to their shooting range. etc. When this happened these people wouldn't help rectify the situation. My Rev War stuff is packed away now. I have no desire to be around the organization . It's going to be turned into a cash flow to rebuild my WW1 German kit.

That unfortunate Barry. But as said before...have someone as a witness and put it in paper. That way you can at least take it to small claims court and have some grounds to stand on.

And Im speaking from experiance in all of this. Having an C&R liscense requires you to keep the paperwork, plus having a number of guns stolen about 10 years ago, knowing where they are, but not being able to get them back makes you a bit wiser on the "coulda', shoulda', woulda'" stuff.

Re: Stolen firearms

Yeah, Barry, that's a pretty raw deal. I know it's a loss to you, but it's a lesson learned. I think the good doctor will get his eventually. I'm a very firm believer in what goes around comes around. Throughout my life I've noticed bad things happen to people who have done me wrong. The best part is that I don't have to lift a finger. When you do dirty it comes back on you.

Re: Stolen firearms

Hallo!

As shared...

If one is considered about replacing stolen or accident damaged or destroyed (fire or flood, etc.) guns, I would suggest looking into specific policies to that effect.

Or, an added rider to your home owner's or apartment renter's insurance.

NUG, insurance companies can set really low limits or sub-limit totals on such things. For example, my home owners policy with a major company has a max of $600 for guns.

And yes, it is a very good idea to ID mark or otherwise record, catalog, or spread sheet serial numbers AS WELL AS photograph and save pictures of things so that it does not come down to guesswork in the first place AND fights with insurance adjusters who do not believe you in the second.

Re: Stolen firearms

May I also point out that those who belong to the NRA have access to firearm insurance through their membership fees? That's not a pitch for membership, but a gentle reminder that those who do choose to belong may have a benefit of which they're unaware.

Re: Stolen firearms

Becky,

Good point. With your $35 per year membership you are given $1000 of firearms insurance coverage.

http://www.nra.org/benefits.aspx $1,000 of ArmsCare coverage with your NRA membership. This plan covers insured firearms, air guns, bows and arrows against theft, accidental loss, and damage. For special provisions and limitations of the ArmsCare Plan click here.

That $1000 will more than cover any factory reproduction musket in the hands of a reenactor.
