    Yeah modern, no for sure.
    whats statute of limitations for even knowing about theft of military property? Never? Oh
    I KNOW a man who is in prison still for trying to sneak back some captured weaponry. And I HEARD about others that never got caught.
    I promise it was not me. I was way too chicken **** and by the book to do any of that ****

    We had to do Customs inspections, hated that crap, what a waste of my time. We did catch people trying to smuggle stuff back all the time. Our biggest catch was a fuselage of a blackhawk in a Conex which was jam packed full of all sorts of full auto AKs, dragonovs, PKMs, a couple sterlings and tons of pistols. I grabbed their 1SGT, told them to get it cleaned out because I was sure I was seeing things. Came back to it 30 minutes later and it was clean.

    When you say clean it up do you mean strip and reparkerized it? Or leave it chrome? It's actually a very beautiful gun. I thought it was in rough shape by the sellers pics but when it showed up it was stunned (besides it being a chrome pimp gun).

    I say leave it chromed and carry it dressed as a pimp.

    A lot of the Cival War weapons were personally owned I am told.

    This one was union and the gun had all the correct arsenal markings in the wood and the metal. So it was issued. But I do remember hearing that an ancestor who was a confederate officer might have used a personal pistol and that is in the hands of famil in Virginia. I don't know much about it.
    If it was there in the bush it was used. Tunnel clearing was done with hand guns at times. Tight quarters and all.

    thats ****ing insane. My one uncle has opened up to me some about nam. ****ed up! Other uncle almost had his leg blown off. An alcoholic and will not talk about it. Don't blame him.
    my father was on a destroyer.

    That could have been a long career in making sand from big rocks. :laugh:
