Historical weapons stolen from Lithgow museum

Only 13 guns recovered. It looks like the thieves have already sold the other missing guns.
 
It's possible to make parts using 3D printers but those are not as reliable as the purpose-made original parts and the user risks the weapon blowing up in their faces. Now that would be justice!
 
That's a real shame, they have been under a lot of pressure with that 'can be made operational' narrative. I thought the museum was secured like Fort Knox, wonder how they got around that?.
I'm sure this will be used to further useless gun control measures
