Hello Mr. davis, as a gun smith with an FFL for many years, you were required to record the gun for repair if it it spent the night in the shop.
Any same day repair did not require it. As a competent FFL holder, the first thing you did was verify the Sn. As a dealer and buyer you have a duty to yourself to verify a Sn. I find these Threads of Sns. that have been altered as totally irresponsible. And ridiculous. Thats where I stand. If you get one you are stupid and should not be buying guns. Hummels and Beanie Babies are wide open. Stay out of the Big Boy stuff. Best.
