Default Poor M&P
Just thought you guys would find this as cringe-worthy as I did...

Doesn't look any worse than any other I have seen!

(Kidding! put down the knife!)




That doesn't look all that bad, to me.
Pretty easy to fix, really.

Wonder if it could be blood. Blood is very corrosive on metal.

Where did you find that?

Really not that hard to fix. A couple new parts and a refinish and it'll be good as new.

Very true. My grandfather was issued a stainless bayonet in japan for WW2.

Fighting in the bamboo for months.

Thing is a big rusted knife now. Blood will eat metal like you wouldn't believe

I'd say that stainless is heavily stained.

Stainless steel do rust. Just expose it to any salinity environment and the reaction will occur.

Yes, it's the pin that's rusting.

With that camo job, all it needs it somebody with a sodering iron to stipple the **** out of that thing and then put it on GB for $1200 as a combat special. Seriously, I would buy that for a project if the price were right. It looks like some fun waiting to happen. I was just kidding about the stippling though.

Never know...may be an early model that had the slide rusting issue which would mean free repair from S&W.

Because it's stainLESS steel, not stainPROOF. Different variations of stainless steel will rust.

Fitting the barrel through the slide was like biting down on a fork and pulling it through your teeth. But as bad and nasty as it was, the action still felt solid and healthy. I'd kinda like to get it from him as a project. Been wanting an excuse to cerekote an M&P.

I've seen a few pictures of Glocks that looked like that. But thats because they were dropped in salt water and treated as boat anchors.

It's actually evidence, so I didn't mess with it.
