You need to report those SN's to local law enforcement, and be sure they log them in to the federal "NCIC" listing as stolen. They will stay on the listing forever!!

I suspected a pistol of mine had been stolen, so 8 years after the fact I finally reported it stolen to the local police. They listed it with NCIC, and 12 years later another local police department notified me that my pistol had been taken off a drunk driver about 50 miles from where I lived!

Recovered 20 years after it was stolen!!!!
NCIC stolen firearm listing is a good thing.

Yes. And since I inherited it from my mother (She got it from a boyfriend before she met my father), and had taken it with me on my first tour in Vietnam, I was glad to recover it. A lot of our family history is wrapped around it.
