likely sad news for the Littlefield auction
I was on the phone last night to a fellow from NJ who was out helping with the Littlefield collection.
I asked him about the status of the cannon in some of them.
He said that the BATF had been out there to take stock of what was live. And the word he left me with was that all the vehicles with live guns will have the weapons torch cut to de-mil them before the auction.
He said the auction house is not prepared to become involved int he BATF paperwork to have the guns transferable in any way.
And they won't hold the vehicles after the auction to wait for the DD or class III papers to clear.
Cut them so BATF won't hold up the sale, then hold the auction, collect the money, and go to the next auction.
I could sort of see the issues with Class III, but the breeches and barrels on all the AFVs could be legally registered given the chance.
Damn sad thing.
