DON'T ASK! DON'T TELL!
Eyes open and mouth shut.
Reloading dies for .50 BMG are available.

“ the soldier had allegedly confessed to tossing the receiver into a dumpster.”
Suuuure he did.
To: circlecity
Suuuure he did. Could be true. And the person to whom he sold it, knew which dumpster from which to retrieve it.

How many went “missing” in Afghanistan?

A missing machine gun? I think I found it. And please US Army, don’t be mad at Ronald. See it from his point of view. Things are getting rough at many McDonalds these days.

“By evening, the soldier had allegedly confessed to tossing the receiver into a dumpster”
“Suuuure he did”
Agreed.......that makes absolutely no damned sense what so ever.

Once you’ve got the entire receiver assembly how hard is it to get a barrel and bolt on the private market?
To: DUMBGRUNT
If you’re gonna steal an MG, you can’t do better than a Ma Deuce...(with a heavy barrel, of course).

It is possible someone had a MAJOR beef and wanted to cause some BIG trouble for the unit.
This would more than do the trick.

Hawkeye: [regarding the requisition of the incubator being denied] We’re not asking for a jukebox or a pizza oven.
Captain Sloan: Oh, those I can let you have.
Henry: No kidding! Hey, those would be great on movie nights. You got any pizza requisition forms?
Captain Sloan: Just use the standard S stroke 1798 and write in “Pizza” where it says “Machine Gun”.

We're talkin' about an enlisted infantryman that took a M2 receiver... When did 'sense' enter into the argument?
This is TOTALLY believable - troopie gets stoopid (well, MORE stoopid) and then panics and tosses it into a dumpster.

One does not “toss” a M2 receiver .... anywhere. It is over 80 lbs of awkward steel. You can put it, place it, even set it down. But “toss”, nope, not buying it.

Lost 4 days? My company was locked down for about 2 weeks over a “lost” AN/PVS-4 night sight.
To: 11th_VA
That was a graphic scene.
