That happened after the Post Office was dissolved and turned into the Postal Service. I was told all the guns were store at a facility on the East Coast and not ordered destroyed until the mid Nineties. I have a copy of that training manual. It has a section in there where they explain how to practice with wax bullets.

I've done that. Didn't have anyone tell me about it, thought I'd come up with a brain wave of my own. My way of making them was much harder than the way most do it, use the case as a cookie cutter and just prime and cut out bullets... Found they could tear an aluminum beer can though...no toy.

old tanker, In the mid west US most of the revolvers were sent to the local VMF facilities (Vehicle) were they were torch cut into small pieces, I understand this was done in the early 1960's
