Police seized a sawn-off shotgun, cartridges, a pistol, cocaine and steroids when they raided the home of a Southall man now starting a six-year prison sentence.
Marcus Mascall, 31, was arrested in the early hours of January 11 by officers from the Metropolitan Police's South West Basic Command Unit.
He was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court for possession of a prohibited shotgun; possession of ammunition whilst prohibited; possession of cocaine and possession of steroids.
It was 3.35am when the search warrant was executed under Section 46 of the Firearms Act.
A sawn-off shotgun, 90 cartridges and a blank firing Glock were found in ceiling panels in a communal corridor outside the address.
The drugs were also found at the address.
He was charged and remanded to court on the same day.
Trident detectives from Specialist Crime investigated and DNA and fingerprint evidence were later attributed to Mascall.
Detective Constable Kai Murray said: “This operation led to firearms and ammunition being taking off the streets of London.
“I have no doubt that the firearms recovered would have been used to cause serious or even fatal injuries.
“Firearms have absolutely no place on our streets and the removal of these makes London a safer place for all”.
