Thanks
Appreciate all the replies. They are still unaccounted for but ATF and local police notified. I doubt I'll ever get them back. If they were sold to an individual direct I can't see what the incentive to return them would be especially since they most likely knew they were buying stolen rifles.

I know, I know, I'm Old School and out of touch, but mine is a 1911A1. If I need more than seven shots, I'm doing it wrong or I need to go fetch an M1

Never say never I've had one show up after 9 yeas in the wind. Haven't got it yet but I am "supposed" to get it back.

We wrote up an M1 that a guy got from an old fellow at a gun show who said he had it for 20 years and was selling it to buy his grandson a shotgun. When the buyer got it home, he checked with the local PD who ran it through NCIS... and it came back as stolen in Texas 25 years ago! He had to surrender it while Texas tried to contact the owner. After many months, they were unable to find her and the guy got the gun back.

I see both HIT on the HotGunz stolen gun search.
Wish you the best of luck getting them back.

That's heartbreaking. I took a pic of the numbers on the screen and will definitely keep an eye out in my neck of the woods. Bastids! 
I have a lot more experience than expertise, still have both eyes and most of my fingers though.

"he checked with the local PD who ran it through NCIS"
I can't imagine that 99.999% of gun buyers/collectors would do that. I doubt I would, unless I had a good handle on the seller. If I had any doubt about the seller I just wouldn't buy the gun. I don't understand checking NICS AFTER a purchase.
