This is dumb. (Just my opinion, of course, and we all know what they say about assholes...er...opinions) For the same money one could have basically the same rifle built and glassed.

I think he reproduction M40 rifles from m40 company go for around 3K without glass.
An original would be an incredible thing to pull it if the safe and stare at. And I would have to shoot it at least a few times.
I think I'd take it from the safe, shoulder it and go Phew, Phew a few times. Those scopes are worth a ton of money alone. I'd hate to knock that thing against a bench or something else.
I looked at the auction and was wondering, if it was in fact, a Marine Corps rifle, how did a police department order it or come in to possession of it?
Or did I read the description of the rifle wrong?
Probably the same way some PD's get APC's and other Military gear.
I thought that way too but wasn't sure if it applied to weapons? I didn't think the Marine Corps ever got rid of anything until it was absolutely beyond repair.
I guess it doesn't matter, the question kind of answered itself.
I'm glad this was caught and stopped before it went any further. What a damn shame.
