My friend bought a rusted Marlin mod 60, though not quite as bad as those pictured. It had been through a house fire and got drenched with water. The insurance co paid off so the guy didnt dig out the guns and clean them up. He sold it to my friend for 25 bucks. When he showed up with it, I had reservations about 'wasting' good clp on it, but he was a friend so we gave it a bottle of clp and some ss wool and about three hours work in & out.
Shot it last weekend, and the darn thing didn't jam once and was actually shooting better than my 10/22. what the heck???
Probably lots of them guns could be coaxed back to servicable condition. Depressing to look at though.
Looks like England has all the guns they need for national defense. All types, calibers, models...from .22s up through miniguns and recoilless-rifles. All stored in a central location as they see fit for national defense.
Someone archive these photos and mail them accordingly when England again, as in WWII, begs the USA to send guns for the defense of Great (?) Britan against invaders. "You had 'em, you squandered 'em, we're keepin' ours this time 'round."
The person that posted the link where I found it had some third-hand statement that it was a collection / dump point somewhere in Yugoslavia.
Didn't make sense to me, didn't think there'd be so many miniguns in such a place...
As a police officer I've seen some pretty horrible things - either first-hand or photos and videotapes, but that ...... I'm going to have to talk to the department shrink Monday. AAAGGHHHH

When I was a kid, and I didn't finish my lunch, the teacher would sometime mention that there where kids starving in Bangladesh.
In the similiar spirit, while these guns were rusting in a field in who knows where, a couple of million unarmed people were killed by their governments.
A horrifying though: might these have been their guns?
Even worn out can you image the money those would have brought in public sale? Even converted to non-firing displays they would have been worth a sizable fortune! The waste! The horror!
