You canj go back and talk with the dealer you bought the gun from- if they are still in business They WILL need to know when you bought the gun. Dealers maintain records of sales for 20 years per Federal law. Next time, have an inventory with serial numbers and pictures.

Added: If you bought it from a private party, hopefully you will have a bill-of-sale from them for the weapon, or you may know them. Contact them to see if they may have kept a record of it, or ask if they can put you in contact with the dealer they bought it from. If you/they don't have these records - you are pretty much SOL.

How do you find a serial number to a gun that is registerd to you?

Look on the weapon. If this is an instance of a stolen firearm, and you need the serial number for reporting, there are a couple different ways you might be able to find it. If you have a case the firearm came with (particularly with handguns), the number could be on a tag on the case. If you remember when and where you bought it, the shop you bought it from should be able to pull up those records.


How can you get the serial number for a JC Higgins bolt action clip feed that was stolen?

You should written it down when you bought it. If you bought it from a dealer in the past few years, he should have recorded the serial number in his "bound book" when you purchased it and may be able to find it (but he certainly won't want to dig out his old records, so you should at least know when you bought it).


How do i find out what serial number is on my gun that was stolen?

Depends on where you bought the gun. If from a store they should have the info. It might even be on your receipt. If you bought at pawn shop they usually include that info on the receipt. If you bought from individual and your state doesnt require registration you're out of luck.
