They shouldn't have given up these weapons, of this I am sure.

Funny they should call their stash a "slick", I wonder where that phrase comes from.

Great post, as ever yonif!

yoni, I still recall a snippet from "Improvised Modified Firearms" by J. David Truby.

He was outlining how the Allies had air-dropped "care packages" to Scandanavian Resistance fighters against the Nazis in WWII... a typical box had 2 STEN submachine guns, ammo, mags, and mag loaders ( you can't fully load a STEN mag by hand ) a couple or three sidearms, and perhaps a few grenades or other demolition materials.

He was interviewing a "former resistance fighter, 75 years young" and the old guy startled him by mentioning "...and we saved a few of those boxes, lad... just in case we needed 'em again..."

While it's a funny, yet deadly-serious story, it makes a point I have made for decades-- there is a lot of unaccounted-for ordnance floating around in the world from past conflicts ranging from world wars to firefights. That's merely one reason "sensible gun regulations" are a pipe dream of true believers in that particular agenda. You'll never get rid of them. Of course, what I was indoctrinated in so many years ago was even simpler-- "If you need a weapon, you take it from the man who has one..."

WOO-HOO!
Fifty year old BRAND NEW RIFLES. As such, they'd 'probably' be classified by the BATF as C&R's. Hope some show up for sale at Century Arms International or Empire Arms.

Have you ever spent time on a kibbutz? I spent about six months back in 1977. I wish I had been a bit older to really appreciate this truly great experience.
