Hidden rifles found in Russia

A man from a village in Russia has found a hidden stockpile of weapons in crates he bought to use as fire wood, Reuters has reported.

About 75 of Kalashnikov assault rifles and 253 cartridges were found in 60 wooden crates. The villager said he bought them from a random truck driver, so he could keep his home warm this winter.

Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has said he will investigate the issue, via his facebook page.  "Wow! I will hold a meeting with Izhmash about its firearms next week and we will deal with this miracle." The rifles were making their way from Izhmash, an arms manufacturing plant, to be recycled.
