Carter was doing the same and the rumor was that under Carter hundreds of 55 gallon drums were filled with .45's most still new in box and then filled with concrete and sent to the bottom of the sea. If it's true I wonder how many Singers or USS were destroyed.

The rumor also is under Clinton after he was stopped from destroying them instead he sent thousands of M14icon's to the Poles. Those same M14's that we are now buying commercially so our boys in the sandboxes have something that shoots farter than the mouse gun.
They went to the Baltics, and there's more of a story to that...a former Army officer with Lithuanian roots went over to help his ancestral nation build a new army (the Soviets literally took everything when they pulled out) and he was a big proponent of the M14.
