found old buried gun

Nobody buries guns just for shits and giggles. I'll bet it'd have a good story if it could talk.

I lost that back in the 70's while running from an wild ass blonde's ol'man....ran out of ammo
so pitched it before the heat showed up.
it wasn't accurate, so i'd like it back.............:eyebrows:

i was running with a wild ass blonde when i found it!! that was a fun night! so if you want it back theres gonna have to be a wild ass blonde involved.

Trust me it will never be any better looking or interesting than as it sits, as is, you will ruin any cool factor by attempting a restoration of any sorts. Unless you just want to try out rust removing products.

You guys that find guns do some research on the guns to make sure they haven't been used in any crimes right? Would suck to find a gun only to discover in a bad way that it was used in a murder and now you're the prime suspect because it's in your possession!

i checked the 1911 i found. the cops kept it for 30 days and nobody claimed it and it was clean so they gave it back to me.

Looks to be just surface rust. A little going over with 000 steel wool and you've got yourself a new CCW.

damn you found that I did not get caught can I have it back?

tonyd · Jul 31, 2014

how about a used up redhead she used to be kinky?

I figured so, Welldoya.... I mean I dont know why some are posting it will never shoot again... I keep scratching my head at those post :doh:
I pulled it out of the CLR earlier and was knocking some of the old stuff off and it looks alittle better.. You can now see where the hammer was and the eject for the shell... I just want it to clean up alittle more for some better pictures and see if we can really tell what it might of been.. Another Officer that I know, said it looked like an old luger 9mm..With the pics I showed him, I'll get some more once it cleans up abit.

I pulled it out of the clr today,and scrapped some stuff off. Seems theres like an eagle emblem in the side,and after pulling up a few pics. Looks to be a P-38

wld1985 · Aug 2, 2014

Frank is was an act of congress, to just post that one pic... The forum kept saying it was failed uploading.. So I had to do photo bucket, then photo bucket only uploaded one.. I'll see if I can do it in a min again.
