FTA:"In total, CBP officers found: an MG42 7.92 universal machine gun, a SA43 7.62 X54R MM machine gun, 680 rounds of ammunition, including 280 7.62 caliber rounds, 100 8mm caliber rounds, 100 22LR caliber rounds, and 200.233 caliber rounds, and two boxes of machine gun ammunition links, used to fashion an automated belt for the machine gun ammunition.

Interesting collection. Looks like someone's private stash of WW2 war trophys. Guns that old should have long since been on the BATF list.

If I recall correctly, 8mm is shorthand for the 7.92 German round, and I wonder if those 280 7.62 rounds are 7.62X54R. You have to wonder who there were stolen from, or, if when Granddad died, Grandma called the sweet young guy from down the street, the one with all the friends in his yard every night, and asked if he wanted them...
