    That's a lot of nice shotguns wandering about. And it's a small world that knows about and buys/sells/uses such things. Hard to imagine fencing them with much luck - maybe they'll wind up overseas. Damn shame.

    You’re not the first person to bring up the possibility of these being smuggled out of the country.

    I guess someone broke in to the trailer over night

    Yes. I’m curious to know what security they had on the trailer. Obviously not enough. Of course hindsight being 20/20 they probably wished they had hired a security guard for a couple nights.

    I wonder how long they were for sale before they became stolen. Hope they had good insurance coverage.

    He’s not having any problems moving them. He’s going to have more problems getting replacements. Some of these guns can take over a year to get. He took over a second location in Walled Lake Michigan near Detroit (Pacific Sporting East). His original store is in Azusa, California.
    I would think he would have a harder time selling this than the shotguns. The ammo is over $6.00/round.

    Yeah, $300k of "cash" in a trailer. Really wondering what the trailer looked like. I will not leave $5,000 of guns alone in a vehicle overnight, or even while eating lunch. Went on a summer groundhog/clays shooting trip north of Pittsburgh many moons ago. Had about $5k worth of guns in the trunk and I brought them into my hotel room each and every night.

    Remember, OJ was offering a reward for any info that led to the arrest of Nicole Brown's murderer.

    What are the odds that the barrels and stocks witll all be sawed off?

    It is New Jersey, after all.

    And when a government pushes (in this case in the form of gun control) criminals get creative.

    My guess is that whoever did this, knew the value of those shotguns.

    My other guess is that if there is insurance money involved, it could very well be an inside job.

    I seriously doubt some low level thieves went and found a gold mine to be sold out of somebody's trunk in Newark.

    It would be interesting to find out if any other trailers were broken into or if this was the only trailer to have things stolen. I doubt Bubba just happened to break into THIS trailer and left everything else behind. Either it was an inside job or someone who knows a lot about this company. Either way, if it truly is a loss for the company, that would suck. I guess a review of their security is in order.

    Nothing else was stolen, not that I had heard, not over a 5 day shoot. There were over 500 shooters there on Saturday, chances are this was someone who knew what they were doing and those guns are LONG gone. Folks who have never been to a "big" shoot might not comprehend, but, it's not uncommon at all to have $100K sitting on a single rack, that's just guys waiting to shoot. Live bird shoots are worse, big money and lots of (literal) cash around, no one that I'm aware of dares to mess with anyone's stuff.

    Keep in mind, if you send a gun to Ottsville (Krieghoff) for factory service and it's got bad numbers,...... it's not coming back and you're likely to receive a not so friendly visit at 4AM from the FBI/ATF. The barrels, receiver and foreend irons are stamped, someone who thinks they got a "good" deal on high end gun will likely be pretty sad sometime in future.

    M&M runs a pretty much world class operation. I referee for them a few times or more a year in exchange for comps. This is VERY out of the ordinary for them to have an issue up there. Lets just say the ~$300K in guns that are missing make up a FRACTION of what was just on display from the Vendors, someone targeted this trailer and knew what they were doing.

    I think the US Open will be open to the public in May, anyone who hasn't been to or seen this type of event should stop up for a few hours to walk around. Particular the "make a break" event on Saturday night (check schedule). You will absolutely see about $20K dollars in cash money change hands during the hour or so long event including the calcutta. Absolutely literally the best shooters in the WORLD competing.

    I wonder what sort of advertising was on the outside of the trailer. Even if there was none, if it were me, I'd have something like XXX Septic Services painted on the trailer, hopefully discouraging any curiosity-seeking folks from looking to score a nice haul as they apparently did in this case.
