Kansas City, Kan. ? Whoever made off with Kirk Bryan’s truck and the 13 rifles it contained won’t find the long guns very useful.

The Shiloh Model 1874 rifles, made by Bryan’s company in Montana, are replicas of the black powder, single-shot Sharps rifles that buffalo hunters used. And none of the 13 that Bryan was taking home after attending the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in St. Louis had a firing pin, he said.

“So it is not going to do anyone a lot of good” until they contact the company, Shiloh Rifle Manufacturing Co. of Big Timber, Mont., for the part, Bryan said Wednesday.

The rifles, with a combined value of $70,000, and a handgun were in the company-owned 2006 Ford F-350 pickup truck that Bryan was driving. The crew-cab truck, with a diesel engine and Montana plants, is burgundy and silver.

Bryan said he checked in Monday night at the Hampton Inn near Kansas Speedway. He said he regularly stays there when passing through the Kansas City area so he can visit the nearby Cabela’s store.

On Tuesday morning, the truck was gone. Besides the firearms, the truck contained cash and credit card numbers of customers from the weekend’s NRA show as well as a custom-built booth and display, Bryan said.

“When smoke clears, they took $220,000 worth of pickup,” Bryan said. “It still makes me sick to my stomach.”

He said the theft of the credit cards is his biggest worry.

In a posting on its Web site, the company asked people who placed orders at the show and provided credit cards or checks for a deposit to contact the company. The company advised customers to cancel their credit card numbers as soon as possible.

The company also asked people to be on the lookout for any rifles that might surface.

Kansas City, Kan., police said the theft occurred between 7:30 p.m. Monday and 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.

“I would just like to have it all back,” Bryan said.
