Contact the USPS and let them know that you are informing the BATF and the FBI of a missing firearm. You'd be amazed at how fast they can find a missing firearm when told of your plans.
That's a commercial rifle. Never used by USGI. There are some parts that will interchange with a milspec carbine, but not a milspec firearm. Even with today's high cost on most firearms, I'm guessing it's worth about $400-$500 on a good day.
I've worn my MD Shooter t-shirt this week in memorial to Don. It breaks my heart every time I read this thread. Why do the good guys always seem to go way too soon?
God Bless.
Since Pikeville Armory hasn't had a gun show for 15-20 years, I'd say you should sell them now for $10 and double your money.
Better than any bank would have done.
Luckily, I've got a son who lives in PA, but I've heard of people doing it for years. I would think that if it didn't work, there'd be enough people beating up the people who recommend it.
