and a "semi-automatic ar-15 style" rifle, too. if this was a civilian incident it'd be, well you know, a fully, semi-automatic m-16 military machine gun.It's just a "rifle".
Where is "Olean"???
Is it near Ilene?
What's amazing is that they're *ASKING FOR HELP* to find the rifle.
Imagine if they actually believed "assault rifles" were extra super dangerous:
"there's an atomic bomb out there somewhere, we kinda misplaced it. Could you help us find it please?"
If you find it and pick it up to deliver to the cop-shop, will you be arrested and charged with possession of a high capacity magazine and ammo and a rifle with a telescoping stock and a flash hider and pistol grip?
Oh, got it. I didn't click the link and was thinking it was some town in MA and our esteemed Mass State Police had yet another "fire" to extinguish.It's a small town in Western NY, pronounced "Oh Leann". Maybe Leann lost it?

Well - the lower is the only serialized part. Everything else is "just parts".
Depending upon who finds it, it may get turned in, it might get sold for parts, or it might just get the lower swapped out...
Southern Tier of NY, near the PA border. I had a girlfriend from Olean, many years ago...
Obligatory "why can't I ever find cool stuff on the ground"?
You must have read those stories of people trying to turn in guns in the UK (like they instruct you to do) and then getting arrested for possession of the same gun, right?
Let's assume a 17 year old finds it and takes it to a police station. How many laws has he broken by doing that? How 'bout an unlicensed, but not PP adult? How 'bout a licensed adult?
There's practically zero incentive to actually help the cops here.
It is also just a hop skip and jump from Little Genessee where my mom was born and where she now rests. It's home to St Bonaventure UniversitySouthern Tier of NY, near the PA border. I had a girlfriend from Olean, many years ago...

I hope they never get it back.
Melt it down, cast it into a new receiver, assemble "new" home built gun. And the circle will be complete.I'd part it out and cut up the receiver.
