About 20 years ago, a guy bought a lot of sealed crates at a government auction. I don't remember if it was seized/forfeited property or just a surplus auction, but when he opened the crates he found several M16s. I don't remember if it went to court or was handled administratively, but he was allowed to retain ownership of these actual assault rifles, although he was not allowed to sell them. (I'm not positive, but I think they were considered to be post-'86 rifles, so he could've sold to a Class III dealer or gov't agency.)Either way, you need competent legal counsel ASAP, assuming this isn't just a theoretical discussion...</blockquote>
