Wow that AR is an SBR too. Pretty wild find/story.

Some of those would be worth some money in better condition.

I think Mossberg's JIC Tubes are not immuned to severe rust. I know AZ is one of the most driest place in US too.

Pre-93 perhaps?
I wonder if the red on a lot of them is actually just the dirt they were buried in... a good deep cleaning and inspection might make them serviceable if it isn’t actually rust.

Seems like a weird place for a tree. "How can we guarantee that someone will need to tear out this wall in the next 10-20 years?"

This is why I will never bury my guns EVER. If your not willing to fight now turn them in and get it over already.

This was my first thought.

Quite the dichotomous message.

Besides, everyone knows that if you coat your guns in a 50/50 gasoline/stop leak mix they won't rust. These guys were just amateurs.

Zooming in, that red definitely looks like red dirt to me. If these had been used in crimes, I would have expected them to be destroyed, not buried. I'm guessing it was someone's SHTF or illegal stash but the owner died before retrieving them.

It is oxidation/rust. Case in point, look at the AR-15. All plastic and aluminum parts... no red.

The barrel, however, is made out of steel. The oxidation might make it easier to stick some dirt to it too, but the steel components are all universally rusted on those.

This might be why.

a little elbow grease and they could be GTG.

Maybe planting a bush that close to the house? Surely they weren't planting some tree that was supposed to grow to 20'-30' tall.

The bury depth seems shallow, makes me think it was a hasty stash more than a cache.
