Buyback in Mexico nets homemade firearms

    A recent gun amnesty in Mexico offering quick cash and groceries saw a number of interesting homemade and modified firearms turned in.

    Perhaps the jewel of the haul was a very nicely made .22lr revolving rifle:

    In contrast, a trash bag full of zip guns was handed in, an inspired decision perhaps.

    A homemade submachine gun. I can positively identify this as Filipino in origin, the design illicitly produced by local gunsmiths in Danao.

    Yet again It seems a certain entrepreneurial individual was up all night preparing for this occasion:

    Widely recovered .22lr machine pistols of local illicit manufacture were also handed in:

    Unfortunately some rather good stuff was turned over, including two German MP28 submachine guns.

    A grisly fate for all was sadly to follow…
