Stopped at a LGS today and I saw a pristine pre-lock, 3 inch, heavy barrel Model 60 Smith & Wesson with target sights. The price was more than reasonable and I immediately started the purchase process. After a few minutes, the clerk stopped everything and removed the gun from the counter explaining it was a stolen gun and was flagged in the computer??? The local police showed up and took possession of it, stating it was stolen in IL back in 2010.
The store could not explain why this was not caught when they traded for it? They claimed it cleared the check a few days ago. But, at least the rightful owner will get it back. As for me, couple of hours wasted, and a little let down about the whole deal.
