    My question is- we all know how terrible the government is at inventory and keeping track of things is it possible that these 1911 didn't even exist and somebody screwed up at the clerical level? That's a lot of 1911s to go missing. At some point in time you would think somebody would either talk or get caught. People cant keep their mouths shut

    With the amount of firearms while 98 sounds huge it’s probably a small percentage. And while they will lok into it if we don’t hear anything else the probability is it was an accounting/paperwork error. And anyone that has worked for the Government can tell you they can make a 98 item mistake!

    If foul play/theft was the reason and they catch them they are gonna have a press release and tell everyone they caught the perp!

    Guess we will wait!

    It has happened before. The government is incredibly negligent for an institution that criminalizes negligence.

    Me “I found a case with 19 m16’s in it!”
    ATF “normally there are 20 in a case?”
    Me “DID I STUTTER!”

    One of my sons was stationed at 29 Palms and a M4 came up missing when a few platoons came in from the back ranges.
    Thats 1102 sq miles of base with most of it being ranges. The base was locked down for 2 1/2 days until it was found.
