Default ATF metal shear meets SC trap

Get a load of this SC package I picked up over the weekend. At one time the ATF deemed it necessary to de-Mill this gun. They couldn't use a metal saw. So they just stuck it in a very heavy duty shear.

What a shame.

Buttstock is not original. Forend, monoblock and some internals was about all that was good in the deal.

Demilling is the term they use to destroy a firearm or perminately render it inoperable.

Usually this mean cutting the receiver in half. I don't know why they would have cut the barrel in half on this one as well.

Actually it comes from De-Militarize. As in rendering a military component ( weapon, vehicle, aircraft, etc) no longer functional.

Thank God that government officials have kept another death-dealing Parker trap gun out of the hands of deranged criminals. Now I can sleep content.

Let's destroy this gun then send it back out into the world for parts! Bizarre....

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it at least got out for that. But what's the mind set there really? So strange.
