Some are easier to research than others. For example there is a Remington Collectors Society, but you cant find much information on Remington serial numbers. On the other hand if you have a Winchester serial number you can usually find when it was made without much difficulty. Google for the make of gun you have + collectors. Some of the manufacturers will research the gun, for a fee, and send you a Factory Letter, stating when the gun was made, and where it was sent from the factory.
how can I found out if someone has run a background check on me
There are a number of situations where it would be illegal to do a background check on you. It is illegal if they do not have your permission for example.
I only time I would imagine someone getting in trouble from a background check is if they lied about something in their application, or to someone, and then their background check would say otherwise. Or if a person has any outstanding arrest warrants found on their background check report, and then the authorities are called to arrest him/her.

People obtain criminal background checks from online sites such as Instant Check Mate or Crim Check or Sentry Link. It is easy to obtain a background check these days.
In the US, to "engage in the business" of buying and selling guns, you need a Federal Firearms License. Those are issued by the Federal BATFE, and DO require a background check. Several states also license dealers in addition to the Federal license. An employee of a dealer will also have a bakground check.
Yes the background check for guns is the same in every state
There is no background check required for paintball guns.
You have no way of knowing. Anyone can pay a fee and have a background check run on someone.
Guns and ammo can be acquired by going to a gun store, picking out what you want and filling out a bunch of forms and going through a background check.
You can't as far as I know. UNLESS you are law enforcement, or work for a background check company.
A Federal background check is mainly looking for criminal activity or convictions. Sometimes it will show when someone has been fingerprinted as well.
Be the right age and have the money to buy the gun, pass a background check, and be responsible!!!!!! --- There are no background checks required to purchase guns from individuals in the majority of states. And if one has a concealed-carry license they can avoid the federal NICS background check when purchasing a firearm from FFL dealers.
