— and how to stop it
We were swapping out units: I was getting a newer take-home unit from one of the other guys. He was getting another unit assigned to him by the chief in our small-town police department.
We had just been issued brand new riot guns, and I was pleased when I recommended to the chief we get Remington 870 12-gauge pumps, and he agreed.
They came to us brand-new in the box, black injection-molded stocks and pump forearms, extended magazine tubes, chambered for 2¾- or 3-inch shells.
They were “Parkerized” — a dark grey and coarse finish that is extremely wear resistant and used by the U.S. military for many decades.Click here to read more on Rusty gun syndrome
