Is this the case where the gun in question had a trace run on its serial number a couple of months before VF supposedly used it to off himself?

I recall something to this effect.

I don't know the answer to your question. I hadn't heard that.

There was a thread here on the serial number trace. The consensus was that it was a dead end.

Actually, 3 times before Foster's death, while the gun was in police custody.

'Vince Foster's gun' serial number searched before death. NewsMax.com 2001;April 4.

It is possible that a 33-year-old apprentice machinist has done more to bring the truth to light than prestigious, well-connected, politically dedicated pathologists. Last year, Craig Brinkley filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the National Criminal Interstate Computer System Administration (NCIC) for the records of trace requests made on the gun found in Foster's hand. There were four: one the night of Foster's death (July 20, 1993); two within four days of each other in March, 1993; and one on April 29, 1993.(1)

The NCIC records should reveal which law enforcement agency made the request and who possessed the gun at the time, although this information has not been released. (All trace requests must be channeled through a law enforcement agency.) The BATF National Tracing Center report obtained by the Park Police showed no owners in the 80 years since the gun was shipped to a hardware store in Seattle.(2)
