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 you find out if someone has run a criminal background check on you?

You can request a copy of your own criminal background check from a reputable background check company or contact the police department in the jurisdiction where the check may have been conducted. Some background check companies also offer notification services that alert individuals if their background has been requested. Alternatively, you can ask the person directly if they have conducted a criminal background check on you.

Can you get in trouble from a background check?

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.
