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.

Those numbers kept going up each year.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.
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.
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.
Some people just shoot them until they stop.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.View attachment 1135341
He just used a shoelace to fix it, and it worked.

Very close!looks like what's left of a Marlin model 59 single shot 410 . yuk and cringe!!
Interesting.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.
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?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.

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.Interesting.
