So did you read the article 3 years ago? Or did you have to wait until
I posted it?

Yes, I did read it back then. IIRC it was talked about here.

I don't believe they can prove who bought or owned the rifle. Last I
saw it was or was going to be displayed at the park service center.

Two things were neat about the story. The lady park ranger that
stumbled upon it while in the field (desert), working for meager
wages, and the fact that the rifle is older that the state of Nevada
(1864 -- Lincoln wanted the electoral votes :-) ) There was a
interview video of the park ranger. She was proud of what happened.

I read it when it first appeared.

Web based forums are like subscribing to 10 different newspapers

Email list-server groups and USENET are like having all of those
newspapers delivered to your door every morning.
