I'm more worried about some natural disaster than a thief. The local loons know about the dog!    ;D

If your concerned a firearm could be stolen and tracked back to you why could it not be stolen from a family member?
It absolutely still could be stolen. The difference is a family member or very trusted close friend would let me know immediately that the firearm was stolen - I and they could report the incident. Bought my daughter a .357 revolver maybe 12-13 years ago; no worries, as we talk everyday and she would address a theft situation right away. With a private stranger sale, you'd have no idea and all bets are off.

That is one good reason to go through a FFL for any transfers. Once the FFL has the gun, he must log it in and log it out when it leaves there. It covers everybody involved. I sold a gun recently that was handeled by 2 FFLs, on its way out from me and in to the buyer's FFL.  ;D

I know many of you buy and sell in private transactions, but I have only ever sold one gun and that was to a shop that did the paperwork (I have a copy) to remove my name being tied to that firearm. I like to buy new (except antique/collectible), as I just like to start fresh with barrel life, etc. and know exactly how much use and maintenance it's had (I take meticulous care of them more than probably the majority of folks). Given that the ATF maintains more records than we want to even think about (many new and old 4473's have been digitized, despite this supposedly not being the case; don't believe for a second that they simply destroy them all), I find the idea of my name remaining tied to a privately sold firearm I no longer own a bit uncomfortable. It could end up stolen and who knows where, possibly as evidence, (used in a crime). Buying/selling transactions with a family member or very close friend would not elicit the same concerns of course. Am I just paranoid or perhaps wise?

There was some story about him online that I did not click on.  The last post I remember me posting was about the knife he designed just before he died

Are you referring to the +1 floor plate like the discontinued Dangerous Game Rifles had? This is a subject that interests me as I missed the boat on getting one of those yesterday on Gunbroker and I'm wanting one to take to Africa. I wish they had never stopped making it.

If I could get the floor plate like the DGR rifle has put on a custom ship MK5 I would just order one of those possibly
