They should be sold in a auction to raise money. The money could then be used to pay for Alec Baldwin's ticket out of the country.

have your buddy try to convince the higher ups to give them to the state (emergency management agency. in Georgia they call it GEMA. law enforcement agencies can get these weapons instead of destroying them. the ones i have seen were converted to semi...it least they are not paper clips. Gema gives our dept crap loads of military gear, used but in real good shape. weapons are regularly available.

Unfortunately, the government makes it a big hassle to deal with M14s, as they are considered machine guns, with all the paperwork and red tape that entails.

The only silver lining to this dark cloud is that likely only the recivers will be torched ands the rest of the parts will go to the CMP. There was talk of a CMP M-14 program where they would be built on M-K receivers(to get around that pesky ATF machine gun ruling) , but so far only rumor. But they do sell M-14 parts.
On the other hand, ask him just what has to be turned in... if only the part with the serial number, well, you know..... And where are all those mags going to.... those are expendable items ya know.... |

Those rifles were paid for with American tax dollars, and they should be offered back to the American taxpayer before any are chopped up. This is so typical of our wasteful government. I would not be surprised to find out that this wasteful policy is in place all across America. Some politicians friend or large contributor is going to get a NEW multi-million dollar rifle contract to resupply these rifles. It smells so much like that.

I just found out that these are not full auto. They have been made semi only for use in high power matches. They are completely match-grade and in great shape for as old as they are. They were used as sniper rifles before and had since been transferred to the guard. Anyone have an idea how much they might be worth?

So far they are safe. There are actually people here who hate to see the waste. I imagine they will eventually be scrapped. What a shame.

The problem is that, in the eyes of teh ATF, a M-14 that was once select fire is always a machine gun, no matter what. |

Call your Senators and Representative ASAP. Get in touch with the Congressmen on the Armed services committees. Or try to arrange to have these transfered to a Spec. ops unit. The SEALS are still using M-14's and would probably like to have some more. Do anything you can to keep these from being destroyed short of breaking the law. Get on the phone and send some e-mails and stall the turn in as long as you can. Some unit out there can use these. Even if they can be sent over seas as foreign aid at least there is a chance they might come back after all this anti gun crap dies down. Do it now, do it for the children!
