| Thanks to all those who helped with the carbine question. |

If the registered owner was his wife how'd you end up with it? Did she sell it? It probably wasn't stolen from her.
I'd look into the historical foundation ,but I'd want another rifle to replace it, unless you're really well off. If it really was his rifle it's a piece of history, and to quote Indiana Jones "It belongs in a museum." I'm sure the foundation would love it. |

Need some advice. I recently purchased one of those AHF Commemorative rifles. Unknown to me, included with the COA was some paperwork that mentioned it was a gift to Mr. Carlos Hathcock. When I recently contacted the American Historical Foundation I discovered that the registered owner was his wife. It is my understanding that some of his things were sold over the years but the question is, out of respect do I contact and offer it to his family in case they want it back ? The Marine Corps Historical folks? Am I making way too big a deal from this? LOL Thanks contact Richard Carroll, Southern Gun Works Richard Carroll 109 Cherry Street Suffolk, VA 23434 (757) 934-1423 or Norman Chandler II Iron Brigade Armory both were close to Hathcock, and will probably help if needed, ETA, Hathcock was usually at their tables during the Richmond Gunshow, signing books and such, |
