I was watching a show a few nights ago where they where raising a B-25 from the bottom a a freshwater lake in SC. They raise it and are showing all the artifacts that they found in the plane, items such as navigation equipment, a rare remote turret, and the 50 cal Brownings that where still in very good shape for being on the bottom af a lake for 60+ years. The person who had bought the salvage rights from the government donated the plane to a museum to be restored.
Looking at those 50 cals in such good shape made me think. What happens to the Machineguns recovered with aircraft wrecks. When the plane is restored the M2s will likely be restored as well. What does the ATF make the "owners" do with these guns. I sure hope that they don't make them saw the recievers in half and use a dummy gun instead. Anyone know what is done with the guns recovered with these wrecks?
