Guns to make you cringe

Gross

Yea I thought it was gross too, that's why I stopped & got gloves on as soon as I opened the box. I was lucky they had it in clear plastic bags inside the box.
My guess is these were buried with the solders where they fell & when they dug up the solders to properly bury them they kept the gun to make some money.
 
My requirement is that each item is cleaned of biohazardous matter. Bucket of bleach, pressure waser, dishwasher - I don't care. I don't want to touch that mess. Unloaded too of course....

A few years ago I created a post that listed the guns that I handled every day. That list surprised a lot of members. Over the years, criminals have gotten smarter when it comes to firearms. Now days they are much better armed, and they love high capacity magazines.

Gunny, you posting that made me remember that I threw together a spreadsheet with that info to track the calibers and guns you listed.
Had to do a bit of digging in my files but I found it.

Those numbers kept going up each year.
I stop by and visit my friends at the lab, about every six months or so. The number of guns coming in are over a thousand a year now and a lot more 5.56, but 9mm is still the number one round.

That makes me curious about the origins of those. Other than the brief violent revolution in 1989, Romania hasn’t had many mass-casualty events in recent history. Iraq bought a lot in the 80s from the Romanians. Then who knows what may have come in through Moldova and Transdnistr.

A while back I did a post on what we called Chicken Grease guns. These were guns that were hidden under houses or other places, and were coated with old cooking oil.

We've gotten a few horrifically filthy guns in for pawn/sale. Nothing like that, thanks to the gun gods. Worst I ever got was a Glock that was so dirty it wouldn't run, but that was just crud. Had a few that were pocket guns that had tons of lint in the works.
These are the leavings after cleaning the Glock. For reference, they're scattered on a 2' x 4' table. Not the worst in the world I'm sure, but pretty bad for a gun that quit on the range, owner attempting to fire it. Filthy Rotten Glock.JPG

Some people just shoot them until they stop.:confused:
 
Gunny, many thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed the read. Good stuff. Here in Cleveland once a gun is finished being evidence they find their way to an area known as "The Flats" which is home to the few remaining steel mills. They go into a blast furnace and that's the end. :(

couldn’t you just drop it in a ultrasound cleaner and then pour boiling water on it! then chicken grease it?
 
It looks like someone made a single shot sbs out of one of those sears bolt action shotguns but like meth

Here in KY law enforcement is required by law to auction off confiscated firearms once their evidentiary value is over. Unfortunately only dealers can bid, except for (I think) guns confiscated by Fish & Wildlife.

Interesting.

I had never seen a chicken grease gun until I became a police officer. It’s a name the officer working in the hood call them. The grease smells like fried chicken or Turkey wings. In hot weather the grease is not that bad, but it gums up if it gets dirty or cold.

Why are the guns chock full of chicken grease? Is it in lieu of something as cheap and inexpensive as proper lubricant or even motor oil or is it for storage purposes like ghetto cosmoline?

To tell the truth, I really don’t know what type of oil they use, but it smells like old cooking oil that was used to fry chicken. Most often it used on guns that are stored under houses.
