If you forgot where you stashed your C4 and Claymores, give the ATF a jingle...

Plot twist, ATF buried it for the Cartels.

That's just a rumor started by Holder to cya.

A similar stash of C4 was found, along with several dozen firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition, in an unused storage shed behind a library on the south side of Chicago. An obviously shocked resident who requested anonymity told news reporters "I've lived in this neighborhood all my life. I never knew we had a library"!

On hold awaiting PhaseIII of the Trumpwall testing?

So that would give the age. Any records of where those lots were distributed to are probably long gone.

I have no idea how long records are kept, but you did have to sign out demolitions. The problem would be they are signed out to a unit, not an individual. You'd probably not get past the company or platoon level.

It's also a giant pain in the backside to turn demo back in, and there's no real record of how much you used. We'd blow whatever we had left at the end of the day just to avoid the hassle of a turn in, but if somebody was so inclined there's no way to know if 5 blocks went up or 4 went up and one went in a ruck. Claymores were more controlled than C4, usually you only got one. It'd be much harder to swipe, at the user level, a bunch of Claymores over a given period of time than it would be det cord, C4, blasting caps, etc. I'd be more inclined to think training/range staff or outright theft.

Note, we were searched when we came off the demo range but it was more going through the motions.

The manufacturer would be able to track the lots to where they were originally sent...but how specific those records would be will vary widely. Some pretty specific, others not at all.

Those appear to be DOD M112 Demolition Charges, unless something has changed in the last 10 years or so, they are lot#’d and dated, and the DOD knows where they were issued and “expended” or where they should still be “stored”. Somebody gonna be in big trouble! Commercial C4has a different make up, and different packaging.
