A homeowner in Central Florida found a bucket containing five guns, according to a Local 6 News report.
The weapons, including four handguns, were discovered over the weekend on a property located off Snapdragon Road and Marsh Road in Geneva.
The guns were floating in some kind of acid apparently used to eat off the serial numbers, the report said.
The guns are now in the hands of sheriff's investigators.
Anyone with information about the owner of the guns is urged to call police.

Using Acid to eat off the serial numbers? Gimme a break! How do cops come up with this crap?

guns were floating?????????
a bucket containing five guns,including four handguns
Wonder what kind of gun the 5th one was.
acid apparently used to eat off the serial numbers. This would eat the entire gun if the gun were submerged in it.
Something Fishy about that story..0 -

That kind of acid only eats the serial numbers off from floating guns. It does'nt harm buckets.0 -
Rubber buckets like we use on the farm for feeding/watering stock. Most acids will not harm them. RJSnow 0 -
sounds like someone didn't keep an eye on their blueing tank, and it walked off. 0 -
Maybe they were squirt guns 0 -

ARMOR-TUFFr will meet 24-hour immersion requirements in the following fluids: aviation gasoline, hydraulic fluid, jet fuel, lubricating oils, paint removers, trichlorethylene, nitric, sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, hydrogen peroxide, gun powder solvents, common gun lubricants, strong bases such as hydroxide, and numerous other strong chemicals.
ARMOR-TUFFr, when applied to bare common gun steel, will pass the test procedures for salt water spray at 1000 hours, salt water immersion at a minimum of 1000 hours, accelerated salt spray test equivalent to 30 years marine atmosphere exposure, and 60 days sea water immersion. ARMOR-TUFFr surfaces will NEVER rust when subjected to normal firearm use.
in reality acid is used to bring back serial numbers that have been ground off0 -
Hydrocloric acid works good for stripping off bluing, it is what is in "navel jelly" iirc.
saves a lot of buffing.[:D]

The active ingredient in NAVAL JELLY is phosphoric acid. NAVEL JELLY- don't wanna go there! When a SN is stamped into steel, it changes the crystalline pattern in the steel. Acid does not "eat" a sn. Grind one off- you can polish the metal, warm it, apply acid- and the numbers become visible as a color change. Of course, Jennings, Phoenix, or Lorcin, just drop it in a bucket of Pepsi![:p] 0 -
How did you know the active acid in NAVEL JELLY so fast[?] [:D][:D]jk 0
