My guess would be Burma as the likely place where Brit and US WW2 interests met and subsequently locked away for 60-odd years. Not many souvenir hunters until recently.

Default Ge

Too many GE miniguns including a rare model in 223 and the look of the buildings in the background suggest to me some place with more American involvement.

Spotted a couple or M16 uppers as well. I'd say Vietnam with the older stuff being leftovers from the earlier IndoChina fighting the French and associated Mercs did.

I remember these shots floating around the Internet from 8-10 years ago but seems there was no details attached back then either. Someone has simply found them and modernized them in FaceBook.

Have seen these shots floating around the Internet for many years.

Most surprisingly: why have the scrap men not yet moved in on this?
