What’s a demilled AT4 worth? Would be cool to have but I’m not sure I’d pay anywhere near $500 for one

 

[Alphabrew]

I'll mention again in this thread , in ref to post #32 of this thread .

12ga Slidefire shotgun are legal to make and own if : Bbl is 18+ inches, and PAL is 26+ inches .

I think you mean “slam fire”. Slide fire is a brand of bump stock

How did he carry all that?

BPD helped him carry the boxes in.
I am speculating here, but I'm guessing a club or group of friends all pitched in their junk guns and he volunteered to be the guy who drove to Baltimore. Nobody has 30+ POS single shot shotguns in their "collection".

That isn't demilled

demilled is supposed to have a blue band, and lots of holes drilled into it.

My money is on a knock off.

If it's a real tube, somebody is going to get a knock on the door from CID.

Mag limit 2, not worth my time for 2.

I got a couple of 5 round AR mags that have feed issues; will they take those .

Can you reload for AT4s? What's the usual light load, for just cars not tanks? Anyone got a pet load?

It "looked" real. In the old days spent non-demils ran $75 at fun shows. It was harder to find demils with the blue paint. Sunny Surplus on Harford Rd sold some also. Hell, I gave away a Dragon an AT4 (both spent) to a Scout Troop in 91'.

Collectors are paying $500+ for spent AT4's.

I made $600 off of 3 home made pieces of crap that I had about $30 in materials invested. The Public Affairs person took several photos of my ‘ghost guns’... 2 were single shot, but the super smart ‘Armorer’ determined they were semiautomatic.


On another note, while I was there, I saw a super rusty M-1 carbine, a mint condition Yugo SKS, and a mint condition Arisaka. The lady with the M-1 Carbine dropped off several rifles, and walked out without taking any money.

Arisakas are weapons of war!

Made an easy $300. Pre-1899 top-break with sketchy (at best) cylinder timing, and a useless semi that you can't find ammo for. (Checked to make sure it wasn't notable/valuable prior.)

Fvck it, if they're giving cash - I'm giving useless junk. I know of a few people that made out well and didn't give anything that worked, or had value or significance.

Wednesday, I turned $400 worth of mags and trash pawn shop rifles into $700. Friday I turned $260 of trash pawn shop rifles into $500.

Not a bad haul! Thanks Baltimore!

Saw on the news a little while ago, reporter said she interviewed a woman going in to turn a gun in and was going to use the cash to buy a bigger gun.

Love it!

I don't blame you guys a bit for the profit-making. The profit motive is the basis of our capitalist system. What I do resent is not you guys but the morons who conducted this "feel-good" program that accomplishes nothing that it advertises and gives the same morons an opportunity to crow about what they've done to reduce crime "for the children".

If I lived close to B-More I would have done a bit of profit taking at the same time, standing in line with the rest of you. A local gun store usually has some scrap and unrepairable guns they occasionally sell to customers just for the parts.

I understand what you're saying. What a lot of people here have said.
But they're going to make it sound like a huge success regardless of what I or we on MDS do. There were plenty of clueless sheep there "doing their part". Might as well make a few hundred bucks off them at the same time.

I admit the rocket launcher guy didn't help our cause by any means. But it is what it is.

The powers that be simply cannot be seen as conducting this charade and failure these programs have always been proven to be...and rarely will the lame stream media expose them. It will be spun as a success and maybe even spawn more such events...or not. If we see no further repeats of it we'll know they realize it was a failure and a lot of money was wasted. Too bad a serious investigative reporter is not likely to look into this fraud and write an honest story on it...and that's if the reporter's employer...whether print or television...would run it.

Someone who went and cashed in (preferably from outside the city) needs to pen an Op-Ed detailing how the city got had, paying out all that cash for complete junk, and the economics of the magazines.

But, since it was likely not tax money (Bloombat??), I doubt they'll care.
