Serial number posting security concerns?

alvin · 07-03-2012, 07:01 PM

Many people on internet hide s/n because they saw other people doing that. This illness propagates so quickly in the internet era, so even newly acquired brand-new shotgun posted having s/n masked on pictures, for God-knows-what-is-that "security" reason

====

[Edit] In collecting context, could this be possible, say, a 70% gun with s/n exposed one day. Months or years later, another 95% one appears on market with same s/n ?? This must be relatively more common than a gun being on a stolen list in its history.
