How can you check that the rifle you bought is not stolen?
call the state police and give them the serial number off the weapon or take it to a gun shop and have them do a check, but if you were smart and bought the gun legally at a gun show or gun dealer the gun will most likely not be stolen due to the background check and gun registry, also if you purchased the gun off of any tom, dick ,or harry and did not have it registered to you, when you call the police or take it to a gun shop to have the serial number checked you will be going to jail because it is a felony to buy a gun and not have it registered to you .

How can you find the serial number to a gun that you bought new and got stolen from you?
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.
