Consider donating them to the honor guards who perform memorial services (21 gun salutes) for veterans. Here are some phone numbers you could try. They perform graveside as well as at funeral homes. A great service for families of veterans.

It’s funny that you say this. I do WWII reenacting (see my avatar) and we had a guy in our unit that was super friendly. He was always asking about our weapons, and he attended all available re-enactments. He occasionally asked about politics, but he wasn’t pushy. At the end of a year, he called our squad leader and said that he wasn’t supposed to do this, but he informed him that he was with the FBI and they were investigating re-enactors for terrorism or white supremicist ties. He said he had a really “fun” year, and did not want to just disappear without anyone knowing where he went. He said he gave us a totally clean “bill of health”, and we never saw him again.

Reenactment? There are a lot of them around famous dates in history around Indiana. Check on local historical associations for their schedules.

Those probably aren't reenactments that would use 7.62x51 though. I'm thinking more along the lines of black powder rifles and pistols.

With all due respect, you may be correct but at least I got the spelling of the thread title correct from the original thread title in my response post. LOL!

I really wasn't being snotty, the DHS came out this week saying LARPs who use swords and imaginary themes are ok but anyone who uses firearms are suspects.

If you are a veteran and especially if you are retired so you have free time during the week consider joining your local American Legion. Then become a member of their Honor Guard, it will make a difference in your life and to the families of the veterans. I belong to a small/medium size American Legion Post and many times we struggle to have enough HG members attend funerals.
Our set up needs 14 members to be a full squad and 10 at a minimum to have 7 riflemen. There are times when we did not have the full seven. We have also joined with another near by Post and sometimes help each other out with bodies. Jim.

Spoke with a young man at Sportsman Warehouse (Brownsburg) last week and he said he was into it. He was working the gun section and once stating on Civil War reinactments it was hard to get away from him.

One of the best Indiana CW events is at Hartford City in October. We have been going for years (as Union Navy) and it rarely disappoints. Conner Prairie used to be good but they killed it years ago. Billie Creek is this weekend over near Illinois.
