If you are caught by the feds re-assembling, or with a re-assembled Demil,
is there not a $10k fine?
Maybe jail time?"
Much demilled stuff that came from the military has been reassembled. It is
up to the DRMO chief to see that it has been destroyed enough to meet gov't
regulations. Some of it is critical and much of it is not. There is an
unwritten demil order on a Humvee which is unfounded. (What are they afraid
of?) But just the same, some cutting has to be done. We're trying to fight
that one now! Just because it is a demil doesn't mean it would carry a jail
sentence or a $10K fine. I haven't heard that one before. Some stuff may
require a "light" demil (old radio gear by removing the radium dial meters)
where others ie;151 jeeps require destruction by mutilation-tubs/chassis
only. A representative of the gov't checks off the demils as he inspects
them and every inspector has a differing idea of mutilation or cutting.
Some units may be put together again from a light demil and if you do, there
is NO law saying you can't after it is removed from DOD property. (done
many times!) However; it would be illegal to put a class III weapon
(machine gun) together but that falls into every catagory and not just
military stuff. Julian
