I was purchasing a rifle from a person from another forum. Sent money and the rifle was shipped to my FFL. When I went to pick up the rifle, the FFL in my state calls in buyer information and firearm information.
The rifle cam up as stolen. The FFL was instructed to hold the rifle and the local PD would come inspect the rifle. If the rifle matched the stolen gun report, then it would be confiscated.
I'm curious as to what prompted your receiving dealer to check if your purchase was stolen.
