Found a gun today

[Bluecrew07]

So i found a gun today, it was burried in the mud. i have it soaking in PB Blaster to loosen some of the parts. then gonna soak them in oil. not sure what kind it is. but it a small one

[Blackpony]

If i were you i'd give it to the police. If you go and register it you might come into some problems if it comes back with a history

[ewalt]

Since when do you gotta register guns in Ohio?

[Bluecrew07]

not even sure if it gonna work. the clip was missing from it. but i will turn it in

[Blackpony]

Since when do you gotta register guns in Ohio?

I'm originally from Chicago and there you do so i just assume you would here to

[Bluecrew07]

its a cool lookin lil gun

[Blackballed]

I would just turn it in. Just my .02

[firestang70]

I would hold up a gas station with it. You know what I'm saying???

[wht_stang]

Yeah bud turn that thing in.

[Timido]

Take a picture of it so we can guess at what it is.

[mustanginky]

where at did you find it? in an Urban park near a drug dealers house or something lol? if it's a .22 or .25 i'd be a little bit leary. gang bangers like to carry those b/c they're small and easier to conceal. plus their cheap.

[BIGRED Z]

Was it next to a body or a bag o crack? lol. :lol:

[Blackballed]

Is it a Red Rider?? Don't shoot your eye out:lol::lol::lol:

[DeckerEnt]

Post up a pic. My intrest is peaked on this one. After we all take a guess, visit a gunshop and find out what it is. Being in the mud, it could be rusty in places that it shouldn't. I definately would not fire it.
Keith

[ewalt]

Yeah, deckerent is right. Unless you don't really value your hands, probably best not to fire it. You need to at least have a competent gunsmith look at it first if you dared to try it.

And blackpony, in Ohio you can't even register a gun if you wanted to afaik. There is no such system.

I wanna see pics too lol.

[PaulFiveOh]

Just by chance....It's not a Sig 9mm is it?

[Mista Bone]

fuck, he's back!

Best thing to do with the pistol, wait till some police department offers a $100 grocery card for tuning in a gun. I turned in a nonworking 22 short pistol for $100 card, help feed me when I was down and out.

[Stangman]

Turn that thing in and don't get in trouble with it. More than likely it was involved in something that YOU don't want to be a part of.

But take a buncha pics first! :D

[Black92LX]

fuck, he's back!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[PaulFiveOh]

fuck, he's back!


:flipoff:

Reason I asked that is I had a brand new Sig 9mm walk out of my Condo 2 weeks ago.

[Mista Bone]

Now that is a serious issue, but doubt a Sig would be buried.

Rebarrel it, and sell it again :)

[Mista Bone]

(the following errors occured while posting reply)

dang it.........

[Bluecrew07]

let me find my camera then ill take a few pics of it, then ill prob turn it in. hopefully i will get grocery card i love food lol

[thecollector]

Call your local PD or sherriff and ask them to run the numbers for you... As amazing as PB blast is even if its "clean" its probably scrap. Good luck and post up some pics.

[Bluecrew07]

Oh yeah... i found in bethel

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

How cool would it be if it's some missing murder weapon? I'd at least take it and get it checked out if it's some kind of weird gun that you can't tell the make of...but then i'd definitely turn it in. If you found some sweet old knife or something then yeah i might keep it but a gun...nah.

[wht_stang]

:lol: With his luck he'd turn it in and if it was a missing murder weapon his ass would end up becoming prime suspect.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

True...some things are better left buried in mud.. :lol:

[ADaughen]

There are some things you just don't want to find...

You can contact your local LEO and drop it off, if it comes back clean (no bodies) you should be able to pick it up if the owner can't be found (lost/stolen weapon report).


Dad was a rescue swimmer for the county and had to take a few dips in the river for guns.

The gun *might* be salvageable. Depending on what it is, and how long it has been packed in the mud. You would want to do a complete breakdown, cleaning and inspection before firing.

[Bluecrew07]

:lol: With his luck he'd turn it in and if it was a missing murder weapon his ass would end up becoming prime suspect.
Very true lol i have horrible luck

[Timido]

Take a picture of the Piece.

[PaulFiveOh]

Forgot about the pin....Gotta swap that out too. :D
CSI 'aint' got shit on me.

[Goldenpony]

I would deposit it into the Ohio River---deep.

[Stangman]

Soak it in Diesel Fuel Josh!

[DeckerEnt]

If your local mechanic has a solvent parts washer, that would get it clean. A can or 2 of Brake cleaner is good for the places a tooth brush can't reach. Then a good oiling of it.
Keith

[Stangman]

Buy some Berryman B-12 Chemtool spray... I would almost gaurantee it would clean all the gunk out of it! :bigthumb

Must be something about 9mm's I had my Hi point walk out of my shop one day. I have a guess on who it walked out with but nothing to prove.
I don't know if I would want to mess with a in the mud gun. What is it anyway?

Eh my case was I had some work done on my Heater and thats when it went missing but I can't prove any thing so I'm trying to handle it my self. Of course I'm underage so I can't really call the police and say uh hey I have a hand gun missing. I guess thats what I get....

[Mista Bone]

2-3 strokes of a file on the firing pin will change it enough not to be traced. Same thing can be done with the muzzle crown :)

[PaulFiveOh]

Next time I murder someone one bone, I'll be sure to PM you first....lol

If I had a high point in my shop I would be happy when it "walked out":lol:

[DeckerEnt]

The thing about hi-points, if you run out of ammo, just use the piece as a brick. It is heavy enough. I had one and sold it soon after I got it.
Keith

[Dirtyd0g]

I actually liked the hi point. I was told there were 2 different makes of them and it was the nicer one. It was a good shooting gun, but it wasn't wore out.
It wasn't very heavy either.
Alan

I sure hope it doesnt come down to running out of ammo and have to use my piece as a brick. But if I do your ass better duck! Its just shy of five pounds with an empty mag

Deasert Eagles are cool,HUGE,and Loud!!!! I love the scene in the Matrix where Smith kills Neo with one. Nothing like slo mo shots like that!!!
Keith

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Yeah cool guns....they'll give you strong arms shooting them :lol:

It's like holding a bag of sugar that recoils.

[BigBadStang]

True...some things are better left buried in mud.. :lol:
Yeah... nothing sweeter than having been found to be in posession of a murder weapon. :eek:

Thats your stupid fault for having it where someboy with sticky hands can get a hold of it. And I dont think it would be muddy and rusty like the OP is describing within a 2 week time-span.

[Mustard]

I gto to fire a .50 cal Deasert eagle. That thing had some bite to say the least

Under my bed? Yea, Ok.

[dirtyone55]

Under my bed? Yea, Ok.

ya.... I personally lock all of my guns up unless I have them in my posession, for safety reasons of somebody who does not know what they are messing with hurting themselves or somebody taking it and it being used illegally and being traced right back to me.

Get yourself a cheaper safe and you will eliminate that problem. Not trying to be a dick about things, but it is hard to trust people anymore, and you are better off being safe than sorry.

[DeckerEnt]

Under my bed? Yea, Ok.

A cheap push button safe with finger grooves that can be bolted to the frame, then under your bed would be cool. Just laying there for all to see, not a smart move on your part. The guy who stole it in the first place is an asshat but just "under the bed" is noplace to store a weapon.
Keith

[Mista Bone]

Nope, my G22 is stored in a unsecured place, not under a bed, not in a dresser drawer, but "I" know where it is at.

Now, has anyone here ever traveled with a gun on vacation???? I left mine in the hotel room, did have a secured case for it. I swore I pack packed when I left to come home from Pigeon Forge. I got home and could not find it.....I SHIT A BRICK!!!!! for over an hour I tore everything apart looking for my G22.

Then I called the hotel (like a dog with its tail between it's legs) to see if they found anything "extra" in the room I left.

Nothing was reported, but the night manager asked what I might have left behind. I said a gun I cannot find in my luggage. No reports of it from the maids.....would you have reported it????

I did later that night find it, can't remember where I had it stashed, but called back to the hotel to tell them I had found it and no more worries.






Yeah I felt like a asshat.








Paul, WHO had access to your place of sleep????? Are you sharing an apartment????

If I was sharing an apartment I would have a lockbox that had a 4-5 digit code or fingerprint to unlock it.

[PaulFiveOh]

I am sharing it with my bestfriend and we have the set of friends. It happened when we were at work I think. We had the AC unit serviced during that time

[MWoods26]

I have to agree with bone here. I also have a gun in an "unsecure" place that "I" know where it is. If someone breaks in my house I will not be wasting any life saving time fooling with any small combo safe. Im not leaving my 1,500 dollor D.E. or any of my high dollar stuff out of my safe. but I do keep somthing where I can get to it in a hurry. *****I want to add that I DO NOT have any kids nore is there ever any kids at my house. When I have kids the time will come that even my trusty little S&W model 36 that I call "Jim Rockford" will reside in the safe with my best friend "Larry the birdman Eagle"

[Mista Bone]

When I bought my G22, it was a "throwaway" gun, aka first I go for in an emergency, if it walked away due to a crook or the law taking it for investiagtion, I was ready.

Yeah about the kid issue.......I really don't wanna go there about a 12 gauge shotgun.

Cliff notes a kid took down a 870 Rem and pulled the trigger, the son of the owner (stoned) racked the slide and the pulled the trigger with the barrel next to his jaw......OOO 2 3/4" mag......messy.

[INSANEBA]

I keep my 40 in an unsecured place. It's near my bed, but concealed. I keep my clip under my matress for quick loading. I do have children around the house from time to time, but they have all been taught the right and wrongs of firearms. I actually took them out and showed them exactly what happens to a melon when it's used. They were scared enough that they PROMISED to never fool with it... I keep it there, because my family ang shop are far too valuable to not be able to quickly "defend" them...

[Timido]

Looks like a raven/jennings/Pheniex arms? Are there any markings on the gun?

[PaulFiveOh]

Thats a little .25 cal I think.

[Bluecrew07]

cant really make it out yet. need to get some more of the crap off of it. got any suggestions?

[Timido]

Thats a little .25 cal I think.

Thats what I was thinking .22 or .25 throw away

[DeckerEnt]

Steel wool. That may get some of the rust pitting off the outside.
Keith

[Black92LX]

My vote is a Raven or Lorcein

[Goldenpony]

I still think it looks like trouble

[50dan]

That thing probably shot someone. If it were a Sig, Glock, Colt, or S&W it would probably be still in the hands of whoever put it there. Just my .02

[wht_stang]

Yeah dude get rid of that thing. Turn it in or something just get rid of it.

[PaulFiveOh]

Eh I totally agree. You need to turn that mother fucker in right now.

[k062693w]

Yep it looks like just a .25 !!! Just take a hammer and beat the shit out of it and pitch it...
As far as shooting, With a .25 your better off throwing a rock LOL

[Timido]

As far as shooting I dont know anyone who would want to get shot with any bullet, even a .25

[k062693w]

I agree !!:bigthumb I was more referring to the ability to hit what your shooting at ..

[Timido]

Throw it then!

[Bluecrew07]

[Blackballed]

+1, Looks like trouble...


I still think it looks like trouble

[Bluecrew07]

SO i called to report the gun today but never got to talk to anyone and about an hour ago the sheriff showed up at my house wanting to see the gun. WTF how he even know it was me who called? I gave it to him he asked a bunch of questions and said i wasnt in charge. asked where i found it at and he said that back in march there was a bunch of guns stolen from a house there. said he would keep me updated and that we would be in touch.

[BigBadStang]

...WTF how he even know it was me who called?...


Ain't technology grand?

[Bluecrew07]

Ain't technology grand?
yeah its crazy

[DeckerEnt]

Caller ID. Just like calling 911 and not saying anything. There will be a cop at your house very quickly!! Most times not quick enough....
