What you saw was the result of a large turn-in. Those guns were probably in an arms room for a year or more before they were sold as a group. What normally happens with larger departments is that an agency will buy replacement firearms, have classes on that new firearm and gradually phase in the new guns. The old guns get collected over time and then are sold to a gun dealer. In the turn-in process time, improper storage and carelessness works against the guns. After a number of months or even years the guns leave the arms room.
