Those are nothing more than "parade" rifles anyway. I doubt they ever get shot.

I'd be interested to know how other inaugural events have been handled in the past

I think the parade rifles have been disabled for decades. Nothing to do with Obama.

I'm thinking the same... Jumped the gun in this one. I've also read that the M1A1 and M14's, commonly used in marches and parades, have the bolt almost disappear when the bolt is locked back.
