Such a waste!

That is just wrong. It is so maddening that the norm is now to destroy "crime" guns rather than let them go to a lawful owner. Which of us wouldn't have been proud to tote that fine pre-war Heavy Duty?

and could use the small parts but not at the current price.

Parts is parts.

Usually they just melt down the whole thing.

With the difficulty in getting good internals for the long actions, part of me is happy someone will be able to bring back to life one or more nice guns, it is still just crazy that a.) some dimwit used a nice piece like that for a crime instead of something else, and 2.) it was destroyed instead of sold and enjoyed by a citizen.
