Who would abandon a unit with that stuff in it???

BS. Look at how clean the guns are. I have a shotgun that I keep oily and it still has surface rust.

Someone who croaked with no relatives, or not-so-close relatives who did not suspect much in the way of assets and didn't want to sort through crap, so the estate goes to auction.

I suppose anything is possible. Color me VERY skeptical that if that stuff was not stolen someone would just abandon it all like that. If I was to bet on it my money would be this was either a fake to generate traffic or, the stuff was all stolen.

When I was in undergrad I worked part-time for some lawyers who did estate law.

This kind of thing is fairly commonplace. Might not be what happened, but is reasonably likely.

Been a long time since I used to watch that show based on this. So what happens legally if he really did buy this unit and its full of guns? Does he have to have an FFL run them all??? I can't remember if I ever saw them admit they found a gun on that show much less a collection like this.

Not sure, but I'd guess that it depends on state law. If it was in WA state when private party transfers were A-OK across the board (or in free-er state now), I'd imagine no issue with the video guy simply taking possession of the crap he paid for.

Depends on the climate where you live, this may have been somewhere in the SW.

Nice score.

Guy didn't seem to know much about guns. I would put the value of some of those guns at 50-70% of what he quoted, but still, for $6K and all the ammo, he made out ok.

I think I viewed that one the other day.

Then, I started to think.......

I wonder how FFLs and The Popo react to such firearms "transfers".

Aloha, Mark
