The gun range up in Bellevue (near Seattle) had a number of suicides IIRC - one in the last couple of years. I seem to recall hearing of them other places too. Didn't hear of any murder/suicides though. Googling "suicide" and "gun range" comes up with all kinds of matches.

Thanks in advance, D

I have "America's Right Arm" which is a book about the M&P and Model 10s

From what I can tell the Model 10 wasn't made until 1957. Before that they were Military & Police. You may not be looking at the right serial number. The correct serial number is usually stamped on the butt of the gun, and most likely will have an Alpha char or alpha and number prefix, i.e. "A" through "Z".

If you can post or PM more info I can look it up in the book.

I didn't get whether he was joking about wanting to kill himself or someone else.

Happened a couple of times when I was working at Cabelas in Kansas City Kansas....A woman came in who had been tears wanting to buy a gun. People that were PO'ed. And others that you just got a bad "vibe" about. I always found it funny that you would walk into a store to buy a gun when they are SO easy to get in the DOT (locals will know what I mean by that).

The poilcy was that if YOU or any employee did not want to sell the person a firearm of anykind any employee could stop the sale.....I am sure that has all changed now that it is a public company...the bottom line is everything now.....that store has changed a bunch.

There are stats regarding indoor shooting ranges and suicides, as well as plain old accidental shootings.

The average range operation will have 2 suicides and 1 accidental (serious) shooting during the life of the operation.

It's something you have to watch for.

You see that from time to time; it happened at a gun show I was at once. I see people putting their hand over the muzzle quite often, as if it is a safety measure and their hand will stop the bullet. Stupid thing to do.

Correct, it was the Military and Police until 1957 which was when S&W began the number series. It was 10, 10-1, 10-2 and so on for model changes. The easiest way to find what model/ update it is, look under the cylinder crane and the model number is stamped there. Then the serial number and I can run it for the manufacturing date.

Some one tell me...was this a good deal...?

Remington 870 Wingmaster..vent rib..based on the serial number I believe it is a 1979 manufacture date. 2 3/4 shells..I think barrel length is 24-26 ". There is a sight bead halfway down the barrel and the standard bead at the muzzle. The breech bolt is "jeweled" and the carrier is chrome. Condition is unreal...looks as if someone bought it and never handled or shot it..no marks on the wood and the finish is 100 percent. This gun wasn't refurbished or refinished..it just looks like it is brand new.

I've always wanted one of these..saw it today while I was on pawn shop detail picking up some stolen items (perks of the job..check out all the guns while your working..lol..)

I gave them 350.00 out the door.

It's a Wingmaster so I think you did good especially if it's in mint condition.

Badge320 · 10-13-2011, 02:26 PM

I'm not sure of the barrel length..could be 26 to 28 inches.
