Appears a young man and his Grandfather were magnet fishing in a canal and drug up not one but two .50 cal Barret Sniper rifles. Pretty cool if you ask me.

The part about the serial numbers being missing didn't sound too good though!

Think they made their way here from Mexico? I’ve heard that’s a cartel favorite.

I thought that the weapon trade went the other way, maybe on their way to Mexico but they fell off the back of a truck. No wonder 50 cal ammo is so expensive.

I was thinking they may be a couple Fast & Furious trophies coming home to roost.

The picture of the young man standing with one on each side shows very short rifles compared to what I thought a 50 cal would be. But I'm not familiar with the Barrett rifles so maybe. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/loc...257897218.html

The other day, when the article first was out, I think it said those were just the lower receivers.
The complete rifle is about 5' long.

I heard about it, but thought they were only .556 cal.

How long would one leave them in Kroil??

Ya think ?


"If they had been used in a crime, Smith said, police would likely be able to link them to it quickly – since the high-end guns are expensive and rare.

On the other hand, neither weapon had a barrel – which complicates ballistics testing, he said."

I'd leave them in the Kroil for at least twelve hours and see how it works . Second dunk if it needs it .
