I imagine most of you have heard about the theft of firearms/parts from the ATF in Virginia.
A couple of fellows on the Smith & Wesson Forum purchased parts off Ebay which turned out to be from those stolen from ATF.
Cuidado.

I can't see the ATF having much of a sense of humor over that. Would seem though that if they know who's buying they certainly must know who's selling.

Yeah, it sounds like they have arrested the guy behind the thefts, but I think they might use the recovered parts as evidence for prosecution. And maybe to save a little face.
Looks like these parts were being sold out of Bedford, PA.

I don't know when it happened. There was a VERY brief mention on the "news" a couple of nights ago. Apparently the person who was responsible for destroying firearms for ATF was instead falsifying the records and then selling or parting out the firearms. Don't know if this was an employee or a contractor.

F- for the atf. Guns are to dangerous to be trusted to nimrods. They can't even tell the difference between a bump stock & a machine gun. Definitely can't be trusted.
