Authorities reported making an unusual discovery in the rural Starr County community of Fronton on Tuesday.
Border Patrol agents reported finding two AK-47 assault rifles hidden in a grassy area near the Rio Grande River.
The agents were investigating a report about a suspicious vehicle in the area when they discovered the two assault rifles.
Each rifle had one round of ammunition loaded in the chamber and 29 additional rounds in the magazine.
It's not clear who abandoned the weapons but AK-47s and ammunition were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for further investigation.
These deadly weapons had the potential to cause serious harm to the residents of this community, said Chief Patrol Agent Rosendo Hinojosa. Through the agents diligent efforts and the watchful eye of a concerned citizen, this community and our nation as a whole are safer.
heavens no...AKs and pitbulls are media darlings...
inquiring minds really wanna know if these were 'rock & roll' or merely avg, 'legal' semi autos...???
How come I never find good stuff like that?
The border is - AS SAFE AS ITS EVER BEEN - .... So move along and quit asking questions.

Proof for the ATF to go after Jim’s firearms in San Antonio.
IF Incompitano had family that lived along the Rio Grande, things would be much more different.
Female dog.
Won't have to save a ton of money. I paid $400 for mine (American-made), and that wasn't a long time ago.
It would be fun to have a full-auto Russian AK, though. Bet you could really rock 'n roll with a string of tin cans with one of those babies.
Never fear. Aim Surplus has a few.
