I got a tour of this machine/facility while at Anniston as a CMP volunteer, we l had to go through a metal detector going in and leaving, to make sure nobody left with any "souveniers". I was informed that under Clinton 100,000 Garands were declared surplus and run through Capt. Crunch. The machine was heavily damaged in one instance when destroying "surplus" M14's, it was down for months. A large number of 1911's were also destroyed, including a pristine one made by Singer, one of the armourers at CMP tried to save it by calling the Center for Military History but they never showed. The day I was there M16's were on the menu, the operators removed the handguards and buttstock before feeding to the machine. All the M16's we saw destroyed that day were total junk, worn out scrap.
