“how at least a dozen fully-automatic M16s ended up among military surplus equipment sold to a Houston couple.”
Really good luck?
Answered Prayers?
Whatever it was, tell me.
I want some too.
I needed 4 or 5 good cases. I bought a pallet with 12 cases (the smallest lot the local military base had). This was years ago and it cost me $300 or so. The really good sturdy plastic cases (Hardee brand or something, like Pelican).
I ended up selling the ones I didn’t need for $50 each.
