Box of M16 Weapons Shipped to Couple's Home

[Buncheong]

"'It’s almost surreal to believe something like that happen nowadays. It’s incredible,' said retired Houston police captain and former Marine Greg Fremin. 'It’s unbelievable to think weapons of that grade, military-grade weapons, would be shipped in containers [that] would be shipped across state lines and somebody have access to that. It’s pretty shocking.'"

Crazy! I once ordered a surplus ECWS jacket and it had a loaded 30 round mag in it. Lots of IDGAF in the surplus world.

They'll run a check on those serial numbers and track them to their last know disposition......then someone's ass will be in a crack. Methinks someone has cooked the books when they realized a crapload of M16's were missing on their watch.

Would be curious to see the results of the investigation.

Always some other guy

The bought 100 "empty" cases the one shown had 12 M16A2's in it they are not saying if they found any others. Years ago someone bought a truckload of wooden 2.75 rocket boxes and trucked them to Mexico where they found one came with rockets.

Some people have all the luck….

That's one hell of a fortune in that cookie.

I sure as heck wouldn’t have said a word about them to anyone, pulled them out of the rack and store them somewhere else so if anyone ever came looking, I’d say “no M4s here, just empty racks, take a look”

This is absolutely nuts. Those are M16A2 right ? Are they still in use in the US military ? And enquiring minds need to know : were there 12 or 1200 of those ?
