Request Stallard Arms JS-9MM INFO
Mr T
I have recently acquired a Stallard Arms JS-9MM.
It looks pretty old and poorly made. The shape is very square.
The metal looks like Saturday nite special "pot metal".
It was found in some bushes back 1998 by my sister's gardener.
It was loaded and very, very dirty as if it had been there for years.
I suspect someone was "on the run" and ditched it.
I cleaned it best I could but I have never fired it. I'm afraid of it.
The Serial # is 04094X.
I left out the last number and put in "X" so no one can
give me some BS about it being their gun that was stolen.
Can someone tell me something It? When was it made?
What's the value? About the company Stallard Arms Inc, Mansfield, OH
Thanks in advance

were in Ohio and one made the 9mm(Stallard), one made the 45(Hascall),
and the like. All three merged into a company called Hi-Point. The
Hi-point guns are basic blowback and have a lifetime guarantee. The
Hi-Point pistols and carbines are marketed by a company called MKS
Supply. Do a google search on them and you can get their web site-its
rather professional really. They have a toll free number and they can
give you some solid advice on it as to what to do do fix it...heck they
might let you ship it back and work it up for you free of charge! The
Hi-Point brand as marketed by MKS Supply has one of the
best,friendliest, customer service in the business-thats straight up
fact. As for the value, once cleaned up the gun might fetch you 40
bucks...but if functional it is a cheap tin can killer! Take care...

to law enforement. It may have been used during the commission of a
crime, or stolen from someone, or both. I would not personally want to
hold on to a "hot" gun.
Just my two cents!

Regarding the firearm's specifications, I have no specific information
for you. However, you don't mention in your post any effort to contact
law enforcement.
If I were to find a gun tossed in some bushes, I would call the
Sheriff's Department and wait for a deputy to get there. If someone
gave me a gun they said they found, I'd ask them to put it into a paper
bag, and again - I'd call and wait for a deputy to get it from me. At
that point, there's plenty of room to negotiate with the City Attorney
or the DA's office to claim the firearm if they find it wasn't involved
in a crime.
Whatever value the gun may hold now, there may be more value had in
clearing an open case. Even if it was 1998, there is no statute of
limitations on murder. On the other hand, what are you going to do if
the police tell you this was the clue that would've broken an unsolved
felony, but the statute ran out last week?

The tern originated back in the 1960's from an organization then known
as the Coalition To Ban Handguns. Using the gun-grabbers term as
acceptable English allows it to be perverted the same way the antis and
the news media did with the phrase assault rifle.
Second and even more important if you found a loaded gun in the manner
you described, you should have immediately advised police. Chances are
good it was hidden after being used in a crime or stolen. By not
reporting it you may have prevented a key piece of evidence linking a
criminal to a crime and the germ may be walking the streets today. Do
the right thing, try your best to remember the exact date it was found
and contact your police. If you are afraid of possible problems by
reporting it, do it via an attorney and let him surrender it to the
police.
