So. Think of the fun we all could have taking those 250 guns and fixing them..

Even if you were too cheap to buy spare parts, you could strip them and use what parts work to make a certain number work.

That is like dumping cash in the trash.

I don't get it.

I dunno...
That's like piling together a bunch of PT Cruisers to make a couple that work. You're still left with a PT Cruiser, albeit a "functioning" one.

I liked our PT Cruiser convertible! Until DoggyMama totaled it...

There is a difference between trying to fix weird mopar cars... and guns

Okay these look like 248 (minus the two the guy took).. bullpup shotguns

I would have waited for one of those 50 dollar buy back programs and made some cash

Well as dumb as that would be, it would have at least been a legal way to dispose of them

Hmmm, apparently not these particular guns.
There's a reason the manufacturer didn't want them back for repair/destruction. A similar reason why the store didn't sell them whole or stripped of parts. (they're poorly made and worth ****-all)

 

[bwillits]

what the hell. how does this happen. so many parts to sell of them. transfer them to another shop for decommission. lots of possibilities

They had to be tipped off. If I found 250 guns in a dumpster I wouldn’t be making a call to any alphabet agency… I would call my buddy to bring a van and some blankets. Haha

If I found that I would be nervous about it being some sort of set up…..but I would probably get over that fear quickly

Sounds like the guy got stuck with a bunch of crap, defective guns that the manufacturer would not take back and the ATF would not accept. So, he turned the kid hired to sweep floors loose with a cutoff wheel and didn’t supervise or verify the chop process.

The fact that there were 250 crap guns in the dumpster is not surprising, but the fact that he didn’t verify the destruction is. As an FFL holder, he had a duty to make sure those where rendered scrap before they went into the dumpster. That’s where he dropped the ball.

What a mess! He could have avoided this debacle with a little due diligence and attention to detail. Guaranteed the ATF will hang him out to dry. Ouch!
