Pennsylvania man charged with selling guns stolen from feds
MICHAEL RUBINKAM
A Pennsylvania man has been charged with selling machine guns and other firearms and ammunition stolen from a federal storage facility in West Virginia.Richard Adam Schreiber, 38, of Everett, was indicted Tuesday after federal agents seized about 100 guns, more than 1,300 gun components and nearly 124,000 rounds of ammunition.
Prosecutors said Schreiber plotted with a security guard who pilfered the weapons and ammunition from a gun-disposal facility in Martinsburg, West Virginia, operated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The guard, Christopher Lee Yates, told authorities he’d get to work early and make off with guns, gun parts and ammo that had been seized during criminal investigations or were retired by federal agencies.
Prosecutors said Schreiber bought some of the stolen weapons from Yates and then sold them over the internet. According to court documents in Yates’ case, Schreiber admitted that Yates sold him at least 15 rifles, at least 80 handguns — most of which were retired ATF duty weapons — and four fully automatic machine guns. Prosecutors said at least three of the stolen machine guns were recovered from the people to whom Schreiber had sold them.

NEVER a good idea to hit your boss……in the face……with a metal bar. He might take it personally.
If I was buying a machine gun and other components, it would be cash only, and no records.
Recovering machine guns from people he’d sold them to? (sigh……)
2 pair, (2 DRT & 2 guests of the feds) not a bad hand.
NC “thought to be drug related.” Well we do know that a dope was involved.
NV “Hold my bar and watch this” BAM…you’re fired
WV don’t steal from the feds, they hate competition.
Whatever happened to good manners and not stealing things from your employer?
That revolver in the photo: there’s a gun I can understand.
If I recall correctly, so could Dirty Harry. (smile)
I had two of them, sorry no more.
Sold mine last year. .44 Mag has become more than I feel like dealing with.
Sold the Anaconda, too.
Still looking for a Ruger SP101 in .357
The earlier Security Six is a very good gun. They also go for relatively low prices.
My first wheel gun. If necessary it could also be used as a roofing hammer without noticeable wear and tear.
Nice looking wheel gun, it wheely is.
Looks like a 29-2 with the Goncalo Alves (sp?) grips. Still have a coupla sets of K-frame grips gathering dust in a corner. Looked purtybut don’t fit my hand.
