Today I got a call from John Taylor of Taylor Machine in Puyallup, to whom I shipped my Winchester 1892 to get the barrel relined. All he received was an empty box. I'm going to file a police report for a stolen firearm tomorrow but in the meantime I am posting this here: Type: Lever action rifle Make: Winchester Model: 1892 Serial number: 100156 Barrel length: 24 inches Caliber: .38 WCF AKA 38-40 Win Finish: Metal has turned brown. Buttstock and forend are brown walnut wood. The rifle is an antique manufactured in 1898 per the factory letter that I got from the Buffalo Bill Center of the Wild West. Pictures of the stolen rifle are on my blog here. Any help in recovery will be appreciated. Note: Mr. Taylor has a stellar reputation, which is why I was shipping a rifle from PA to WA. I do not believe he is trying to pull a fast one. |

Welp, one more BTT from me.
I filed the report with my local PD this morning. The officer was very helpful, especially after he saw all the documentation that I prepared and gave to him (receipts, shipping records, photos of the rifle, etc.). The report will be uploaded to the NCIC. I went to the UPS Store from where I shipped the rifle and I'm waiting for a call back from the owner later today. If he doesn't, I am going to raise holy hell. Aside from that, I have sent emails and Facebook messages to about 25 local FFLs and to 14 FFLs out in WA, the area to which I shipped the rifle. I've gotten a few replies indicating that they'll keep an eye out. Keeping my fingers crossed but trying not to get my hopes up. |
