I know of at least one VFW post that was told to turn in their govt loaned M1903 and M1917 rifles, presumably for CMP distribution, but were never provided with a serial number list. It still looks like a fishing expedition resulting in serial number registration where the govt can't identify specific rifles but wants the VFW posts to tell them what they have. I say, have the govt send a list of what the govt thinks the VFW posts are supposed to have. David |

DA is belatedly trying to get a handle on the weapons it _loaned_ out. You want to give them a hard time because they might "grab" their weapons back. I don't know how these weapons are distributed. But I can assure you that if you give DA a hard time, they can find a reason not to do it any more. Kevin Gallimore |

Rifles suitable for honor guards are often donated to VFW posts. How do you know if that M1903 or M1917 is a loaner or a donation? DA is belatedly trying to get a handle on the weapons it _loaned_ out. You want to give them a hard time because they might "grab" their weapons back. Why would the DA care about an arm so obsolete? If they can identify what they loaned out, fine, if they can't, why should that be the problem of the VFW post? I don't know how these weapons are distributed. But I can assure you that if you give DA a hard time, they can find a reason not to do it any more. They haven't done it in a LONG time anyway. Surplus obsolete riles now go to the CMP. David |
