Guns to make you cringe

I remember that! My Dad had one. It was also known as a Yankee Screwdriver.

My BIL called them a handy Yankee.

What happens to firearms seized by police in my state became very controversial when the politicians discovered that many agencies sold the firearms for revenue.

Responded to a brawl in a nightclub once and one of the local gangbangers on the dance floor had a revolver fall out of his (baggy pants) sagging waistband, a pristine, blued 4" Colt Python. Needless to say it had been stolen. I almost told the dude, next time you buy a stolen gun, "Get yourself a Glock."

Sometimes you'd see stuff that would make you cringe, especially when high-end or classic firearms were abused by criminals who ended up with them. One of our local departments seized a (formerly) beautiful full-custom 1911 that was so scratched, pitted and filthy when I was shown the photos I almost cried...

I'm reminded of the movie "Lock, Stock and Two Smokin' Barrels" where a couple of London street goons rip off a couple Purdey shotguns valued at around $500K with the intent to whack down the barrels and turn em into stick up sticks..... I don't want to spoil the end of the movie for those who haven't seen it but........

I bet that stuff happens all the time, some criminal dolt who doesn't know anything about guns steals a gun and chops it down to make it into a ghetto blaster when the gun is worth more than they are likely to bring in from any number of hold ups and petty crime......smh...


ETA: Does anybody remember the lad who walks into the dope house with a Bren? "It's me Bren gun"

No, but here's betting he didn't have a spare magazine for it if it was a Bren Ten.

Nope, more like a .303 british Mk 1 machine gun.

Nope, more like a .303 british Mk 1 machine gun.

Ah, shoulda known since it's a Brit flick.

A few years ago, I browsed a site for gun auctions.

They had a lot of shotguns complete with stock, receiver, forearm, but no barrel. Yep. Seized sawed off shotguns put up for auction without the illegal part.

I had a Savage 94 with tennite stock and was interested an 94 auction item for the wood stock and forearm, but the costs of either going to the auction location for their FFL transaction or having the gun parts set with receiver transfered to a local FFL made the project uneconomical.

That TT 33, as a C&R guy, made me weep. I can only afford a lowly Bulgarian, the Russians, both Maks and Toks, have skyrocketed in price the past few years.

I’m very surprised that no one has noticed that this TT33 is a 1941 Tula. Even in this condition it would still fetch a pretty penny. One in very good condition can sell for more then $4000 at auction.

Is the Ruger SR 40 considered a SBR with the forward vertical grip on it

No. It would be an AOW. You can’t put a vertical grip on a pistol, unless you have an AOW tax stamp.

Here’s a Glock 22 that was thrown from a vehicle in a high speed chase. The driver was doing over 50 mph when he threw the gun out of the car. It was on a city street and a good size oak tree was able to stop the guns flight. If you look close, you can see wood imbedded in the rear sight. The rear of the slide made first contact with the tree, the gun was also loaded with an extended magazine.
It took me about 15 minutes to get the gun back into functioning condition, just had to drop in another trigger, guide rod and magazine.
I was able to match the gun to several shooting.

This happen decades ago on Mary's eastern shore. Home burglary resulted in a Purdy or Krieghoff double barreled shotgun. Genius decided to cut off the barrels at ~20 inches, but the hacksaw blade broke. Leaving a half cut barrel. The Sheriff dept recovered the sg. I saw it at the local gunsmith after it was returned to the owner..

Some superglue, zip ties, and duct tape will fix that right up.

I am not in LE anymore. But this custom firearm job made the local news a few months back. My favorite part is the gas station flashlight held on with electrical tape.

Everybody knows that the harbor freight lights are much more tacticool than the gas station lights!

The sad part of this is, that this things will kill, which is what they are intended for even if they are missing a part or two.

this physically makes me sick.

Thanks, I figured it would be something deadly and terrible!

have you gotten any full auto in?

Every now and then. ATF would pick up any cases that involved illegal, full auto guns. I would just contact the local agent and inform them of the file number that the gun was related to.
I only had five or six full auto guns come through the department evidence.
The state crime lab got more due to them getting guns from agencies that didn’t do their own firearms testing.
Here’s one full auto with a happy ending.
There’s a knock at the door. Dad answers the door. As he opens it two men force their way into the house, dad grapples with bad guy #1 as bad guy #2 is coming in. Bad guy #1 has a Glock with a full auto switch. The Glock goes off but jams on the first shoot, that goes into the wall.
Son comes into the living room with a handgun and fires at bad guy #2. Bad guy #2 drops his Ruger LC9 and runs away.
Dad is able to get bad guy #1 on the floor and get the Glock away from him. Dad beats the living hell out of bad guy #1 with the Glock. When the police arrive, Dad, bad guy #1 and the Glock are covered in blood. Bad guy #1 had to go to the hospital before he could go to jail.
The reason the Glock jammed was dur to operator error. Bad guy #1 had an extended, after market magazine that looked like it had been dropped on its lips several times.
With a standard Glock 22 magazine the gun functioned great. But I will say this. Muzzle rise with just 3 rounds was crazy, and took less then a second to fire.


Oh! Bad guy #2’s gun, the Ruger LC9, was one of those chicken grease guns. It was gummed up so bad that he couldn’t fire it. After I cleaned out most of the old cooking oil, it worked fine.

What a nice shade of crimson on that Glock. Good job Son and Dad!

Here’s a Beretta 92 that was thrown from a vehicle. The slide and frame were bent. I was able to test fire it with some help from a rawhide mallet.

If you look at some of my post from a few years ago, you will find some similar to this one.
