Re: Missing Silencer - REWARD
that really sucks. Can you imagine if you ever have to use your gun to defend yourself? The DA's office will LOVE the fact that you are SOOOO responsible, that you LOST a silencer. That would suck even more. Even if it's by no fault of your own (hole in the bag, stolen) a DA would love that. Fortunately losing one isn't a crime in itself.... yet....

I hope you get it back. What happens if you don't? Do you have to report it to the atf?

I'm sure you do. Not that they give a rats ass. But do it anyway.

I can see it now... Prosecutor: "Prove you didn't sell it."

See section 13.5.2

NFA requirements. When any registered firearm is stolen or lost, the person losing possession must, immediately upon discovery of the theft or loss, make a written report to ATF, specifically the NFA Branch, showing the following: (1) name and address of the person in whose name the firearm isregistered; (2) kind of firearm; (3) serial number; (4) model; (5) caliber; (6) manufacturer; (7) date and place of theft or loss; and (8) a complete statement of the facts and circumstances surrounding the theft
or loss.
Re: Missing Silencer - REWARD
A lot of people (cops included) believe that all silencers are illegal. So someone finding one at the range could easily toss it in the trash barrel, or turn it into the most convenient police station.
Me, I'd check the trash at the range, and the dozen or so nearest PD's. Leave your contact info, explain that you have a Form 4 (or a Form 1, if you cobbled it together yourself).

Re: Missing Silencer - REWARD
I'll keep asking about it and keep an eye open, Mike.
