I was wondering if any of you all could tell me how to match a serial number to an owner for a Rifle. I have a 30-30 I was told was my grandfathers and want to verify it on record...
Thanks

There is no registration in Texas.

BUT, if it is a brand that is still in business, it may be that their customer service can provide a letter stating where, when, and to who it was first shipped. If it was to a wholesaler in your grandfathers area, you are getting closer.
In the 'old' days, most firearms were shipped in groups to wholesalers or larger retailers.
Good luck....
