A father and his two sons have been arrested in Australia after police found a $3 million arsenal of more than 300 guns and 4.2 tons of ammunition at their farm, police said Thursday.
The men, aged 69, 46 and 42, were charged with possessing restricted firearms after police found the weapons stockpile stashed in sheds at their property in Monto, Queensland.
A selection of the firearms from a huge stockpile of 328 guns and 4.2 tons of ammo recovered by police in Queensland, Australia.
Among the 328 weapons were military-style automatic rifles, some of which were worth up to $50,000 each, and Glock handguns worth $10,000, police said.
“This is certainly one of the largest hauls of firearms, ammunition and weapons we have uncovered,” said Detective Superintendent Jon Wacker of the Queensland Police. “These firearms are very disturbing.”

$10,000 Glocks?
:)
G18 full-auto, folding stock, suppressor, super optics, maybe? I didn’t know Glock made a unit that expensive. Wow.
Yeah, it was a good start. Too bad it was confiscated.
Silly Aussies. Only jackbooted thugs are permitted to have this many guns.
“These firearms are very disturbing.”
No. What’s disturbing is a-hole Nazis like this aussie cop.
Whaaaaa?? And what the hell is with the "4.2 tons" of ammo? Are we measuring ammo by the pound these days?
There’s some nice hardware in the array on those tables, in the site pics.
From the article: “modified or converted in some way” usually means they’re highly illegal, but not knowing Australia’s gun laws, I don’t know what that really means, either. I’m guessing no one’s going to get a crack at most of them, except maybe the gov’t or LEOs.
A lot of shotguns and bolt hunting guns. This scares Australians?
What happened to those crazy Aussies that fought with us in South VN?
Whats more disturbing is that its against the law.Its bullshit.
Reminds me of what the Brady Bunch Nazis would say about any firearm.
My thoughts exactly
Those things are gone down a gov’t ‘rabbit hole’, forever.
i saw one double barrel shotgun and two pellet guns in the picture... kinda like cops weighing dirt in marijuana grow busts to up the weight
I’m all jealous...and stuff. My stash weighs...what...300 pounds?
Gee that’s a lot of ammo - but I can imagine if you loved and collected guns that 300 is a nice amount.
These blokes will do some hard time for this as Queensland is currently cracking down on bikies as they tend to be our equivalent to the Mafia and they have been killing each other in the streets putting normal citizens at risk. I have no doubt these were uncovered due to the crackdown and have bikie links.
