FORT IRWIN, Calif. (AP) - Federal officials say more than two dozen firearms have been stolen from a Southern California military base. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says in a statement Friday that 26 AK-74 assault rifles and one Dragunov sniper rifle were stolen from a supply warehouse at Fort Irwin in San Bernardino County on July 15.
ATF spokesman Special Agent Christian Hoffman says arrests have been made and one rifle has been recovered, but the agency is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to more arrests.
Hoffman could not say how many arrests have been made, whether those arrested were military or civilian or what a motive may have been.
He referred those questions to military officials. Messages left late Friday for an Army spokesman were not immediately returned.

This is why we need to close the gun show loophole.

The good news, such as it is, is that these are most likely OPFOR weapons, so they're set up for blank firing or sim rounds. It would take some work to get them to fire live rounds.

I'd say that depends. A certain Post Near a certain city in CO has 7,62x54r stacked to the roof in a certain ASP.

We had a few at Knox that were real we used for OPFOR.

On this subject anyone remember the VISMODs they used back in the day. NTC used to be fun.

[AirbornePathogen]

Can't say I do. I went to NTC just after 9/11. I mean literally two months after. The combat arms guys still got all the attention then, and being an MP unit, we really didn't do jack. And you raise a good point, I used to know the Warsaw Pact armorer at this installation you speak of, and at the time at least, they had no shortage of fully functional ComBloc weapons. But this installation does have people who wear green hats and sometimes beards stationed there, that may be a factor. But on the flip side, I'm sure that these people do some training at NTC. Have to consider that one.
