-If CMP could or would do the search, they would not likely share who bought the carbine-

   nor should they, JMHO

-As far as NJ, I would not open that can of worms

I sympathize with the OP, and would let the members here look and respond;

I'd also post a WTB on the Gunboards forum for that serial number- can't hurt.

Charlie, I put in a request to see if we have a Data sheet.

Like the CMP, we will not give out personal information if we have it. However if we do have contact info we may be able to pass info on to the owner to choose if they want to contact the person looking for the carbine.

The PAST OWNERS fully understand. They would like to give the current owner the back ground on this carbine.

If the Current owner wants to know and reaches out to him.

Currently the previous owner 'scotty diver' has posted 2 separate serial numbers.

Wayne (  ) caught it, we are waiting to see which is the typo.

I'd like you all to read where he edited a post:

From scotty diver: "  Just want to add this. If someone on this board or another forum happens to be that needle in the haystack and has this rifle, please, do not feel that you need to sell or part with this weapon in anyway. It was sold fair and square and thats that. It would just be cool to know where it ended up and felt the owner might like to know where it came from and why it was in pristine condition! "
