Only on 13: Couple finds fully-automatic M16s in storage cases bought online

Some of the more than 100 cases had guns in them. Only ABC13 was there when feds executed warrants on the buyers' storage unit.

I might think about stashing one and reporting the rest, but then again I’d also be thinking it might be a trap.

I would follow the FBI and ATF protocol for said weapons. As all Sniper Hide folks would; since 99.99999 all follow the law and those that say they don't are probably Feds trolling for people who do illegal shit.

How does someone not notice the difference in weight? That would be something north of 100 pounds, wouldn't it?

 

[babyguppy]

forklifts and pallets?

 

[Maggot]

Guns are bad. Guns hurt people. I'd turn them right in.

^^^

That's what I was thinking. They ordered 108 storage cases as they deal in surplus stuff. Probably came 8 to a pallet or something.

 

[MadDuner]

And if that crate sat in the warehouse for 60 days before the ATF came looking for it.....
would they have been charged for a crime they didn't commit?

I'm not sure I would put odds on it going either way.

About 6lbs each.
Maffs sez 72lbs

I myself would go sailing……

 

[vinniedelpino]

Don't they just have to turn in the lowers and FCGs?

I would keep everything else, buy a bunch of blem lowers and semi FCGs and put them back in the case for a rainy day.

*EDIT*- after a confirmation from my attorney, of course.

Where exactly can one buy these mystery pallets? asking for a friend of course.

 

[OREGUN]

I would start here. Call it a rainy day fund.

Sounds like govplanet.

I guarantee this happened from some illegal shit in the government. Some insider was trying to move them and cash in. They hid them in equipment to be sold in either forgot about them or just plain fucked up. I would not touch that shit with 100 foot pole. Because if it wasn’t that, it was a honey pot. Either way you lose.

They gave several thousand "full auto M-16's", amd other sensitive equipment to the Taliban, so this ain't a big deal.

 

[TurboTrout]

I’d follow the constitution and federalist papers

One can only have so many boating accidents before it gets suspicious.

So you are saying that you could keep them if "The Big Guy" got 20 percent?

[BullGear]

It would be nice if that happened, but with my luck, the FBI would be waiting around the corner and as soon as I bring in the rifles from the porch, they'd be all over my front and back doors and every window on the first floor.

But don't worry, every single boom stick will either be highly regulated or made to be illegal to own. After all, I live the the Free State of Maryland, where nothing is free and we're barely a state any more.

 

[ignortbuttrainable]

maybe my memory isn’t working quite right but, didn’t a few Marines from Camp Pendleton get busted for selling M16s and hand grenades a few years back? and some of the rifles were not recovered ?

 

[david walter]

There aren’t any “fully automatic “ M16s in service anymore.

 

[MK20]

You are wrong.

 

[david walter]

OK. Who has fully automatic M-16s?

That’s right. Nobody.

Three round burst? Maybe.

M4s maybe.
