i have assumed that buying used guns from a gunshop that the firearms serial numbers have been checked to see that they are not stolen. I have bought several used guns over the years all from a gunshop as i assumed that this was the case. I have always kept my receipts and a photocopy of the receipt(so less likely to fade). i got to ask the owner of the gunshop about it and he said they can't check it as there's a large volume of firearms to go through and he is not aware of any gunshop that can do it. he did say, since they keep the records, it protects the one buying the firearm if it becomes an issue. i don't know about compensation for the purchase cost if the firearm is surrendered.
how will this become an issue? i don't know but i remember a previous post on this forum where a "bought as new firearm" from a lgs had been reported as stolen. i can't recall what incident lead to this
