Did they all have M16s?

No, no, not at all. Only uh, er, uh 12 had M16s.

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.

They would sell quickly at $1.5K a pop, throw in the magwell stub for super cloners who do rewelds.

Wow, that's a crazy find!  I can't believe they gave them a case with 6 M-16's in it....

I can't believe they gave them a case with 3 M-16's in it...

I can't believe they gave them an empty case...

I can't believe the case was empty, and fell off of the friend's truck into a boat that sank...

I bet the Feds were pissed they have to sort through 107 cases, in the heat, I mean that is hard labor right there, surprised they haven't filed a complaint. I'm willing to bet the search warrant has something to do with getting overtime and manpower.

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

I would have sealed the lid to make it look like someone before me had rigged it up not to open (like a prior thief was up to no good) then used it as a coffee table for a few years to wait and see if anyone came poking around.  After that they are mine all mine for the 500 acre farm I buy after retirement.

And no, not in Minecraft....in Pokémon Go.

So .gov cannot keep track of their own inventory, but think they can do it through registration for the entire civilian side? Ok.

Sounds like a .gov sale to me. Too bad AFT is so busy approving all those form 4 transfers to Ukraine to be left out of the loop.

They’d be idiots not to write a warrant.  They’re going to track this whole process backwards and they’ll want good documentation when it gets to whatever military situation caused this.

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.....

Now the company that sold them will be burned at the stake for stealing and selling illegal machine guns.

Meanwhile the various people who messed up in the military will get participation trophies for helping stop “crime”. They’ll be given a lap dance from leaderships favorite tranny as reward.

Yep. You know what a modern homicide detective does if he can’t find his car keys in the morning?

Calls his boss to tell him that he will be late. Goes out side and starts typing the warrant.
