MIAMI — A man and his 11-year-old grandson found a little more than they were looking for during a weekend fishing trip. The pair pulled two .50-caliber Barrett sniper rifles out of a canal near Miami.
Duane Smith told the Miami Herald he saw a YouTube video on magnet fishing and decided to give it a try on Sunday. They dropped a 5-pound magnet in the C-102 canal in southern Miami-Dade County.

So “boating accidents” aren’t just a conspiracy theory!

“Detective Christopher Thomas told the Herald it will likely take the department a while to determine if the weapons were used in a crime.”
How big is the database of crimes involving .50 rifles?

That question might need a TV show all on it's own.

Smith told the newspaper he was concerned because the serial numbers on the lower receivers of the weapons and the bolt of one of the rifles were filed off.

Couple of Barrett .50’s, what’s not to like? Does Florida allow them without hassle?

Most likely stolen from a gun store and not bought by anyone on the street - won’t fit into their half way down jeans..

“But I am buying a fishing magnet.”
Good idea. Two questions:
1. What is a “fishing magnet”?
2. Where can I purchase one?

I’d love to have a Barrett, could probably swing it financially, but then probably couldnt afford to shoot it enough to make it worthwhile... :(

Are you claiming two rifles with serial numbers removed?
