[brocglock23 4]

Shame a piece of history is going to be destroyed.

And an STG. If it is authentic and not a re-manufacture. Should be in a museum.

There is a Luger and Mp40 or Mp38 above it,

Old ladies don't have internet..........and they make big mistakes like this.

One of those in near mint condition with a magazine turned up in Connecticut recently (past six months) at a "gun grab", the officers informed the elderly woman of it's value (it had been in the back of the closet since WWII) and arranged for the rifle NOT to be destroyed but sold to a FFL dealer in antique firearms. Estimated value was set at $25,000.00

A knowledgeable vet should write a letter to the editor about the poor person who was ripped off and a piece of history destroyed at the buy back. I'd do it but I'm neither.

If the MP40 and the STG weren't lawfully owned prior to May 19, 1986 (and if they were in NJ, they probably weren't) I don't know if there is a way to go back and do it now. They are more than 50 years old so are C&Rs but they're also covered under NFA.

 

GCA 68 required registration of DEactivated WAr Trophies (DEWATS) which had earlier been declared "non-guns." Today, unless a machinegun has been cut up in accordance with BATFE requirements, it is still a machinegun, even if the barrel or other parts have been welded and the gun is not fireable.

If they had been DEWATTED with a paper trail, they could be transferable. But seeing the condition, they don't look like war trophies that had been lovingly cared for and exhibited over the last 68 years.

 

If the little old lady had been caught with any of this stuff, her bill from Nappen might have been more than $25,000. Probably cheaper and easier to just turn them in at a buyback. (Too bad about the Luger, though. That might have gotten her a few bucks, particularly if it had a story to go with it.)

i think im gonna put an ad in the paper. these people obviously just want to give these things away why shouldnt i be buying them shooting them and deciding that i dont like them and selling them for a profit?

[Shane45 807]

The only way a full auto piece from WW2 etc etc is not kryptonite is if the original owner and or widow has that little piece of paper that the owner registered it during open registration. Without that even an FFL really cant buy it.

[mipafox 438]

Holy shit. You think they are going to melt that down? They should stoke the fire with their own children.

If you want to cry about this -- a WW2 P51 weighed in at 7125 lbs.

 

That's $5771 of aluminum scrap at today's prices. And 99.7% of WW2 vintage warbirds were turned into beer cans.

Who they kiddin'.......someone's taking that Luger home.....

Luger? Luger? fugg the Luger and throw it in the trash. I can't believe how many people in this thread don't understand the really big pointy thing that takes up almost the entire picture, and is perfectly centered within said picture.

Wife saw me reacting to this and thought someone died.

makes me sick

[Recon Racoon 49]

Not gonna lie, I cried a little.

 

There really needs to be someone on call for anything historical that turns up. So many pieces of history could be saved from the furnace that way.

[Zerosignal 1]

I think I'm gonna start hanging out in the parking lots of these things and intercept these people with a transfer before they hit the front doors..

I see your historical and raise you a tragedy.

 

What if it was registered, pre-1986 transferable?  Being illegally possessed in jersey (there ARE MG licenses in jersey, currently BTW) would not change its status as a transferable.  It would still be a transferable in the ATF registry and could be sold out of state to a private citizen. If they destroy that I am hoping for a boatload of Karma from Mexico, taking turns with their cruelty.

[Shane45 807]

Unfortunatly under the current administration, they cannot be saved. Its truly a crime against history!

Two days and I am still angry about this.

There was a shooting a couple blocks away from the Church where the gun buyback was taking place yesterday.

How come the criminal wasn't at the church turning his gun in?

The shooting occurred about a quarter-mile from Atlantic City's Second Baptist Church, which on Saturday was conducting the second day of a two-day guns-for-cash buy-back program to stem gun violence.

 

“While attempting to assist the victim and secure the crime scene, responding officers were greeted by a large, unruly crowd,” Brady said.

According to scanner audio posted on the blog Atlantic City 911 on Saturday, a responding officer tells the dispatcher: “The crowd's getting bad, get me some units. They're fighting one of our officers down here.”

The criminal probably handed the weapon to the cops who showed up and asked for his money and reminded them it is anonymous . LOL

[Pythagoras 2]

This makes me so mad. I can't believe those three pieces of history are going to be melted down....(or "commandeered" for one officer's personal collection)

[Shane45 807]

Im not saying it never has happened but I think you guys make it sound a little to commonplace for an officer to risk his career and a healthy stint in a federal prison over a piece of hardware....
