Your tax dollars at work…destroying your tax dollars.
It’s the place where military weapons go to die.
You’d think they could at least pull off the ‘non threatening’ stuff like sights, handguards, sears, triggers, stocks, etc, and resell them to bidders for the private market.
You know where there are so many Mosin Nagants floating around? Because the Soviets, after getting caught waaaaaay undergunned during WW2, never destroyed anything. Captured Mausers, Arisakas, etc, etc, all got tucked away in Peoples Glorious Warehouse No. 388 and sat there awaiting the next war. And here we are destroying this stuff. You’d think they could at least resell it and recoup some money. Or just bundle it onto pallets and airdrop it to whoever our current ‘indigenous forces’ allies are.
But..more than likely, Hillary or some other madman will think these things are awesome and every state should have a couple for disposing of those nasty ‘ol guns that those ‘bitter clingers’ love so much.
My Dad told me when WWII ended, the local Air Force base in Arkansas destroyed and buried all the tools and other gear they didn’t take with ’em in order to “not disrupt the local economy”. The locals maintained there WAS no local economy and had a desperate need for those tools. AF was unmoved.

here is a video I capped from an old tv show some time ago, showing the beast in action
That was a depressing video. How many parts go out the back door?
Not enough!
It would be poetic, in the biblical sense, if they sent the scraps off to make farm machinery. But more likely, they give the scrap metal away to a subsidiary company of the same company they buy the new guns from… Thus, “stimulating the economy” twice over.
That depot is an hour from me. Pretty decent roads between me and there as well, not that I’ve scouted them for a future raid at the end of the world or anything. Seeing as they also repair all manor of large moving steel vehicles… might stop off to get a trade in…
*sigh* if only.
Totally off topic – what happened to Harry’s blog, Self Sufficient Mountain Living? I know he was going to shut down but he never said why. I enjoyed reading his blog a lot.
Unbreakable AZ
You’d have to ask him. It’s too bad, I really liked his stuff.
I tried but he is not responding. I know plans were shaken up with the retirement of his wife, but didn’t expect him to go completely dark…
The Costco Ammo Cans labeled “Heritage” or “Ammo Box” are all made in China. Small white adhesive tag is on the bottom of the cans. They’re not USGI of course but they are lighter in weight than the USGI. They’re water-tight by my submersion test on 6 cans.
