Quote HistoryQuoted: How much would 12 M-16 brand new parts kits be worth? I'd have thrown the receivers in the ocean and sold the kits. Or, you know, just keep everything, since at that point the custody chain is long since broken. It's not like they had to cut serialized locks or something to open the cases. If they really wanted to be good citizens, they could track down the vets on the weapon tags, and make some anonymous home deliveries. |

Dear ATF,
I never thought this would happen to me, but I found a box with 12 completely stripped M16 lowers inside. Weird I know! They're pretty light. I guess that's why the previous owner thought the box was empty. Anyway, the box is under a bush at the corner of X and Y. Sorry for making you go get it, I'm sure you're super busy and all. Have a Great American Day! XOXO |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How small were those Fast and Furious tracking bugs the government put in rifles to sell to the cartels and then see where they went? Asking for a friend. About the size of a roll mark. There was supposedly some loopy idea about putting some kind of Raytheon-made tracking devices in the rifles, but that apparently didn't happen. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not worth the risk keeping the guns. It's not like you could sell them, show them off or even shoot them anywhere but a really remote place that you had to drive them to and from. Essentially, they would be 12 Federal felonies waiting to fuck up the rest of your life. The longer and further they are separated from the circumstances in which they were found, the less believable the story becomes to investigators, prosecutors and a jury. But yes, I would be tempted  Half of the Bill of Rights, amendments 2 - 6, blatantly protects gun running. Because the founders were gun runners. Live a little. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "One of the strictest things we have in the military is weapons accountability. So these weapons are missing somewhere from a U.S. armory, and somebody doesn't know it. That's the scary thing about that for the U.S. military right now." LMAO this shit is fucking common. I had a M242 (bradley main gun) in an army arms room that was supposedly in 2 different places in the US. The receiver was supposed to be in California, and the feeder was supposed to be in Texas. Yet I had them in fucking Kuwait. The Army fucks up their weapons accountability all the damn time and shit goes missing for sometimes years before anyone notices. This. I'm way out of date, but the system has been and will always be designed to cover the asses of the PBO types, balancing the books off of scapegoat captains when necessary. That goes for everything from rifles to tanks. |

Perfect example of why not to contact or have anything to do with the ATF.
they willingly came forward and notified the ATF, then are served with a search warrant, have their place searched, etc . No good comes from trying to be honest and come forward to the ATF or FBI about something you found. If you are worried, just toss everything in a deep lake or have it crunched without saying a word to anyone and move on before the ATF or FBI screws with you for trying to do the right thing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: CONUS there's pretty strict weapons accountability. However stuff going overseas and back has many handoffs and paperwork snafus. I imagine those rifles could even been from a unit that shipped them to DRMO, and the entire lot was written off as destroyed. However they forgot to empty one case..... This was exactly my thought. |

Definitely the only ones professional enough- note the 'tard around 2:18 with the orange shirt clearing the rifle left handed, finger on trigger. The guy in his car with the striped shirt turned in his man card years ago.
