    So pick someone you dislike and have the contact info ready to hand over when they come calling.

    Like that guy on gunbroker with the bolts, he's gotta get em somewhere.

    Read my previous post in this thread. That's what I was saying all along. Everyone just assumes that since it is FN that it is stolen.

    Oh, I think the ones shown in the bags with NSN numbers are. Either way, I would chance it.

    I challenge anyone to go to DRMO and find a new in the bag FN bolt. M16 bolts are given a DEMIL code of “D”.

    Tag: DEMIL_CODE
    Code: D
    Description: USML ITEMS - DEMIL REQUIRED. DESTROY ITEM AND COMPONENTS TO PREVENT RESTORATION OR REPAIR TO A USABLE CONDITION.
    If someone gets a bolt with an NSN, cage code, and part number it’s stolen. Face the facts.

    I find it funny how people somehow think it’s OK to get something stolen if it’s from the Government.

    Nobody is stealing form the government, least not in this thread. If ANYTHING, the government is stealing(back) from us. If you bought a house on foreclosure in this goofy housing shit that's gone on recently and the former owner came up with a sob story about how they were screwed out of it (and a lot of them really were), you wouldn't give it back. Ain't no different. Tell the home owner to talk to the bank and the gov to talk to who lifted and sold there junk. If they want to compensate a person and have there former-property back, sure. Otherwise it's sanctioned theft and it's BS. I don't expect it to go away or change but I refuse to call it anything other than what it is.

    That has to be one of the worst analogies I have ever heard.

    Look at it this way. Joe crack head takes your favorite AR and sells it to someone. A few weeks go by and someone is pulled over by the police and they run the serial number and find out its stolen. Are you telling me you are OK with not getting your rifle back?

    If he paid $100 for it from a crackhead, knowingly, I'd want to give him his $100 and have my rifle back if he's agreable(and a good man would be), and I want the crackheads ass for stealing it. If he is himself a crackhead or was involved in a crime and the AR is going to impound or auction, I want it back and the judicial system can have the crackheads ass. If he bought it from a pawn shop the crackhead sold it to, for a reasonable value, it's his, and I want the crackheads ass and would like someone to ask the pawnshop to vette there clients a little better. Simple. There's no reason to screw the guy that bought it if he did so in good faith, he's not the criminal.

    If a weapon of mine was stolen, and a person bought it from a crackhead, it would've behooved the buyer to check it with police to ensure it wasn't stolen. If it'd have gone through a pawnshop here it is most likely to have been caught as stolen and turned over to police. I would not compensate the buyer of my stolen firearm for his "loss", that'll be up to the crackhead and him and the courts (of course, once he's out of jail)..

    A buyer ought to know most ricky-tick that if a crackhead was selling a weapon, it's most likely stolen.

    I can see why you think that way, and it isn't out of line. But I also think it's an extension of a "not my problem" attitude. I try and not go that way. As I said, if the guy bought it in good faith, sure I'd compensate him or he could keep it, it's a whole nother matter if he bought it from said crackhead or from somewhere at a crackhead-discount, be it a shady pawn-shop or whatever. That falls under if it's too good to be true it likely is, and is an important distinction any grown man ought to know how to make.
