Batista's army had our WWII surplus; Garands, M-1 carbines, Thompsons, 1911s. When Fidel took over, he was Soviet supplied with AKs. How could they have ARs?


Castro was big on sending troops over to Africa to influence regime changes in the 70's and 80's. Protuguese AR-10s were popular in Africa. Oil companies hired out Cubans as protection for their oil producing sites as well as other personnel all depending on how the poltical winds blew. Bring backs of course!

It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this. Yes, I'm skeptical.

I remember watching a 60 minutes show on Cuba and they took tours of some of the bunkers and tunnels loaded with military equipment. Most looked in great shape and was wrapped in plastic sheeting to protect it.

So let's think what they may have there.

Mosins- im sure to arm the peasants.
Garanads
M1 carbines
Thompsons
Maybe some 03A3's
1919
M2
FAL
AR10
Ak's of course
CZ52
G3's
I would also imagine a number of various Mausers

IIRC, in the late 50s Batista received a shipment of at least one hundred Armalite AR10 rifles, exported by Interarmco.


This I can believe.

If so, they probably can't be brought back as they were most likely select fire.



I heard that too I believe they got some early FALs too. Not to mention Johnsons and supposedly IHC Garands.

What a friggin circus.   This place fucking sucks.  



Well I arrived and was immediately assigned a "guide".  What kind of "guide" carries a gun and spouts the wonders of communism?  Anyway his English is just about as bad as my Spanish.



The dude is convinced I'm a spy I think.



He took my memory card out of my camera.  Said, "you are business, not tourist".  I had a spare but I'm going to have to be really careful about not getting caught taking pics.



Freaking guy even follows me into the can.



Fucking internet sucks too.  Slow as shit.  Having to tether off their cell system with my wife's blackberry.





Anyway I got this from the plane landing this morning.



What kind of piece of shit planes do they still fly in Cuba?

That's what I thought was the only way into Cuba as direct flights were limited and you needed permission to travel there???

I don't really care about the AR10's but there is a little jam you could help me get out of.



Go to the Sol Club Cayo Largo front desk and say you need to pick up something for "fiver" (they'll know what you mean - just ignore their scowls and stay on point).  You will eventually be handed a locked briefcase.  If they give you anything in addition to a locked briefcase, DO NOT touch it with your bare hands, refuse to accept it and walk out quickly.



Then I need you to charter a fishing boat, get at least a mile offshore and throw that motherfucker right in the ocean.

The downside it is in Cuba. A friend of my wife works in the Moroccan embassy down there. He said Cuba needs cash dollars really bad right now and knew I liked the old military stuff.



So to Cuba I go.



I'm heading down there to check it out and see what it looks like. Hell, it is a trip right? Hopefully I won't get ass raped in a Cuban prison for being an American spy.



I have no idea what the conditions are like there nor how the internet will be. I'm probably going to have to tether off

my wife's work blackberry.





In MIA right now, waiting for my flight. Should be fun.
