Remington Bubba Thug

[GunnyUSMC]

First off, don't try this at home or you will go to jail like the guy that had this gun.

Here is a Remington 1100 that I processed for evedence yesterday.
The Bubba that did it was a Thug and is looking at 10 to 15 years for having the gun and other thing.

I thought that some of you would like to see what real street guns look like.

Can anyone tell me a few things wrong with what Bubba Thug did.

Ah! A door breacher for getting out of crack houses when you are too fried to turn the door-knob?

I especially like the breacher stand-off rib cut!

And sawing off the stock bolt sure made blood blisters more likely with the grip sliding back and forth.

Personally, I would have finished covering the crack with electrical tape to cut down on the blood blisters.
And maybe Gorrila Glued it on to keep it from falling off during a baggy pants quick draw.

But thats just me.

Would that even function?

"Can anyone tell me a few things wrong with what Bubba Thug did. "

Well, I'm guessing from a legal point of view, the barrel and the overall length are too short. And I don't know much about semi shotguns, but doesn't it screw them up when you chop the barrel due to the porting? I have pumps, doubles, singles and one Saiga 410 that the wife didn't like and sits around doing a lot of nothing. Those are my guesses.

He's past the ports, but he sure did a lousy job on the muzzle and rib - should have used a new hacksaw blade and cleaned up the rust.

The first thing he did wrong was ruin a nice Remington 1100

Really butchered the stock trying to cut it down past the recoil spring

The obvious legalities of being too short aside, you should have that action opened to ensure there isn't a round in the chamber........

When the buttstock was cut off the recoil / return spring was done away with. There was a bolt put into the back of the stock to hold it on to the action. The trouble is that when the gun is fired there is nothing to stop the bolt from slaming into the rear of the action. Do you think his hand hurt when he shot it? This is most likely why the grip cracked.
The barrel is approx. 15" long. It the buttstock had not been chopped off the action still would not have worked due to not enough gas to work the action.

I didn't tak a pic of all the marks on the right rear of the action where something was used to beat the bolt handel to get to go forword.

Pretty much this was a single shot thug gun.

he got caught

 

[Woodyard]

That is butt ugly. This clown should get 999 years just for lack of taste. I hope they pump daylight to him for a long time. By removing the action return spring, he turned it into a single shot.

 

[DaleCooper51]

Wow. It's a shame what someone did to that gun.

I'm guessing it was probably a stolen piece also.

 

[Fred Fuller]

Well, I guess whoever did it figured chopping off that much barrel would reduce the gas pressure impulse into the action enough that losing most of the bolt return mechanism wouldn't matter, perhaps? [/sarcasm]

That kind of gun butchery is criminal in its own right, even if it wasn't illegal. Hope he goes to jail for a nice looong time. But it looks typical of other gangster guns I've seen, including the mechanical misunderstandings.

 

[Virginian]

Add "Crime against nature" to the charges.

Maybe somebody will cut his action spring off in jail too.

Well, we can hope can't we.

I just saw it and thought to myself " hey the 1100 has a long bolt return action tube ! There WAS a company that converted it to around the mag some how ,so a folding stock or PG only was fitted I think it was Sage International and I have seen them in use in the later 80s at the first three gun matches. But this obviously ain't one of those!

 

[Tim37]

i know he forgot to file for a aow stamp

 

[lemaymiami]

When I ran our property room one of our guys brought me a sawed off, shorty, that was completely illegal (and was a stolen recovery as well...). The so and so had chopped a fine L.C. Smith double to make a street gun out of it. The worst part was that, given it's age and the liberal courts we dealt with back then in Jimmy Carter time... The bad guy beat the concealed weapons charge since the weapon was considered an antique... True story, I never found out whether the feds went after him - but seeing that fine double completely ruined that way was a sad sight.

 

[LeonCarr]

He should spend the rest of his life in Angola State Penetentiary just for butchering a perfectly good Remington 1100 .

Just my .02,

I process 8 to 20 guns a week, you should see some of the other stuff I get.

Here is one that will explain where lost socks and hair bands go.

 

[rcmodel]

Man, thats something right there!!

I assume you wear rubber gloves and wash your hands twice when you get done touching stuff like that!!

[GunnyUSMC]

Yep. Got to wear gloves, mask and coat when processing guns for evindence.

Assuming it's a stolen gun, can the rightful owner get it back after the PD finishes using it for evidence? It seems that the action isn't too damaged and it could be restored by replacing the barrel, stock, and other parts, and refinishing. I know it couldn't be returned to its rightful owner in its present condition, since it violates the NFA. But if the barrel and cut-down stock were removed, it simply becomes an incomplete action. The next question is whether such a restoration would be cost-effective. The owner's insurance, if any, might decide that it's cheaper just to buy him a new Rem. 1100.

 

[GunnyUSMC]

Well this one was not listed as stolen so, when the case is over and it is held in evidence for a few years, it will be destroyed. No parts will be saved, not even a screw.:banghead: this is a shame, a waste.
If a gun is recovered stolen, it will end up getting back to the owner, unless it is tied up in a case or used ni a violent crime.
Most of the guns I process will end up being destroyed.

 

[ColColt]

He may get 30 days in the electric chair for this.(shotgun)

 

[firesky101]

I know it has been said, but first and foremost he ruined a nice gun. Between the, ugh... I can't even call them bubba'd they are that bad, mangled guns and the talk of destroying poor firearms that can't help who got a hold of them. This thread is downright depressing.

The heck is that?

My guess is that he stole it from a more honest person, so he probably wasn't too concerned with ruining it.
