That was probably the biggest tragedy in the entire story. What an idiot.
What's your money on, someone inside the department selling these guns or did the officer plant it at the scene?
It could be both. Maybe someone in charge of the buy back sold some of the guns and this officer bought one and used it to plant. You would think he would be smart enough to know not to plant it if he knew it was a recorded serial number from the buy back. And it looks in good condition for that many years, not like it has passed around gangland for years.
I have heard horror stories of the buy-backs. Street sweeper shotguns, German Lugers, Colt Pythons, AKs, and mint condition military rifles all getting turned in for a $100 or $50 gift card. Next one they have, I need to show up with a wad of cash in the parking lot. Or set up a table giving out cards worth twice as much....I bet you would still clean up. LOL

I say string up the judge for turning the S&W in for $100 gift card. And it was his Dad's gun......
Everyone knows you only turn in old broken .22s and throw a way guns to these buybacks.

I was half asleep when ordering it, and forgot about it until the range called a little while ago and said the gun was in. I honestly can't remember what it was so I want to surprise myself tomorrow & not going to look at the invoice/emails to see what the model was.
Internet ordering while sleepy is about as bad as drunk ordering
Lol

Its bad business for communities to count on $ that aren't guaranteed.
Would be kind of like me expecting to win the lotto to pay my bills.
I got a ticket right up next to the KY border once and you could tell that was the city/county's cash cow.

What quotas? There are no quotas. They just hire twice as many cops to patrol the last week of every month.

No gun this time just a target
Poor car. lol
I want to call B.S. on this being a continuous burst of 10 seconds of one Thompson.
At the Fastest rate of fire (1500 rpm for the M1919) that makes 250 rounds in 10 seconds. Ok that number might be right if we started counting holes, but the largest drum for a Thompson was 100 round. So they could only sustain fire for less than 5 seconds. So I think some liberty was taken with the timing, number of guns, or they fact that they changed mags during and stopped the clock for that.
Ok, not back to the regularly scheduled fun.

Looks like you are a little high on that violet to get a clean kill. lol

I wish they did the time off for long salaried hours thing where I work.
You and me both, but my employer uses salary employees to make a bigger profit. What does he care about my family time, he just wants more cash to pad his account.

There are all kinds of cops like in any other profession. I have known good and bad in a lot of places.
My Papaw was a deputy and was loved by coworkers and prisoners alike for treating people like humans. More than once a former prisoner showed up to thank him and offer to do chores for him.
On the other hand, my uncle was a patrolman in another city. He would show up in full uniform, including State Trooper style glasses at family gatherings...on his day off. He said he needed a pocket recorder because "people always lied about him harassing them." He was an royal a$$hole to everyone. He had a power trip about it like I bet these guys did.
If you do it for the right reasons you will be happy doing it. Otherwise, no matter the pay, move on.
Nothing justifies you torturing someone that you have clearly restrained.

Well, well -- look here:
https://www.classicfirearms.com/diamondback-rail-10-5
Apparently it really is a Diamondback rail. Also, the review on this page mentions the issue with proprietary barrel nut.
Cheers,
Whisper
This wrench looks close to the nut.
I tried looking on DB's site and there is no link to a wrench to buy from DB. If you Google, you get a dead link to the page it is supposed to be on. I am guessing they moved to standard barrel nuts maybe. Looks like you might be borrowing theirs.

Did you see the Lugers?
Better question. Did you see the gun knife in pic 32?
Pics 148-153 also caught my eye.

You never know, guys. I've been to a couple of auctions in the last couple of years and left with stuff I never dreamed I'd own for a song.
One thing is for certain. You won't get a bargain if you don't go.
Like a lot of Classifides here, I am far (8 hours) away from it, so that makes it a whole different ball game. I would love to go, even if it was only to look.

If I put all my stuff out on display my wife would kill me...then sell it.
This guy does look like he had as great sense of taste...and lots of money to collect. I doubt I could afford his cheapest gun. Lol

Looks like they have been prepping for weeks.

Congrats.
My advice: Sleep now, starting in February you will think you brought home 5 instead of just 1. You will love every minute though.

Seems like they turned off a bunch of light cameras up here after the news started putting out who got how much money and how they did not even have a cop reviewing the footage.
Pretty much are just cash machines for the city or county.

My Dad says his Papaw and Dad tried to re-establish them on family land here in East TN, but that house cats would pick off all the quail. I am not sure I have ever seen one on that land. Sad too, I always wanted to bird hunt.
Those are sone good looking birds you took.

Look to see if the foreend spacer is rubbing. I have a shotgun that does that. Careful tightening the screws if it is plastic. They break easily.

The worst part is not the "fine", but the "administrative fee". I had one years back that was $50, but the admin fee when I paid it added like $66 dollars. It literally took the one lady 2 minutes to "administer" the paperwork.

The number one rule of shotguns is that if you're not shooting it, you need to be feeding it. Where most are really lacking is in practicing to reliably develop those skills.
The Aguilas are fun little lower recoil shells, but all-in-all you'd be way better of spending that money on more of your normal ammo and really honing your skills.
The shotgun is round for round just about the most destructive personal weapon system we have. But, when it comes to fighting with one - if you don't have your stuff really squared away it's liable to bite you.
I'd just go with some 00 buck and call it a day.
That is why I bought that 100 rounds of Remington Buckshot. If I need more that 100 rounds in my lifetime then I am SOL.

No idea, that was my thoughts. maythye use them in 3 gun or something to keep from having to reload more???

The issue has been getting them to feed, I do not have a break open shorty. So I have not tried them.
You think they would still be trouble in a pump?
Post the last firearm related thing you bought!

Looks like my Emperor Assault 12 kinda.
Interested, why did you just not look to pick up a used pump or semi if you wanted a beater? Or get a Maverick 88. They are pump but usually $190 any day.
