A few lucky Lithuanians made the deal of the century picking up an Honest to God M14 for 350 Euros.
Now they want them back.

We had it, in the bag, ATF had signed off on a defanging procedure, I understand the DCM actually had a warehouse full awaiting gunsmithing before resale to us.

So.... Bill Clinton gave the guns away to the Baltic Nations so we could not have them. If the Lithuanians return them Ricky Tick maybe Trump can get them modded and we can buy then through CMP.

This rule will only last as long as the NFA.

"...buy them through CMP..." They'd be chopped as unregisterable Class 3 kit. Semi-auto receivers the ATF were running around collecting several years ago. S'what happens when unelected civil servants are allowed to make law by regulation.

I believe Peru got a bunch too, long time ago. There were pics of one of our presidents walking past an honor guard all presenting M-14's. Always wondered where and why those came from.

I still have my M-14 ser # from boot camp on my rifle range score book (Expert!), now If I could only find my 1911A1 ser#. I was unit armorer and picked myself a nice US&S I shot high expert with. Would love to find it at CMP.
