“175 rifles is a lot of rifles”
Not for a free man. A good guy. A dealer. A shipper. Me.
Dealer—no problem. Buyer on the border... maybe some inquiry might be ok? Would you sell 175 rifles to some guy without any inquiry?
It’s a lot of rifles. I couldn’t get my hands on that many of them from my primary suppliers. If I split the order among five of them, I’d probably get them within a month, but it would raise a lot of eyebrows and cost over $150,000. If they were cheap ARs or AKs, they’d cost a lot less, but still over $85,000. The ammo is ten cases, which is do-able, but it’s another couple thousand dollars. The mags are worth about another $1,000.
Whoever staked these guys had a lot of cash.
