Well they will probably torch the barrels, and high pressure areas, destroy the breech blocks and might cut the breech rings. When barrels are 5-10K, breeches 5-10K and breech rings depending on price, this is a pretty good chunk of money if someone wants to make them live again or try and source the correct bits and bobs. We will see.

Same people doing the auction as last falls sale in Indiana where they dumped vehicles from the old Victory Museum collection they had acquired. They started cutting things up the day before the sale when a few potential buyers said it was very questionable for them to sell some of the items direct with no federal papers. They really didn't advertise the demill so I'd wondered about issues with proxy bidders who submitted based on the on-line photos/descriptions. Would be pretty pissed buying a complete item, prepared to do ATF docs, and then find out they butchered it with a torch.

They have more prep time if they have already made the call to demill so likely items will be described properly when the final catalog is done.
