Talk:Stranger Things - Season 1

The image is a bit blurry but the S&W revolver looks to have a shrouded lug which would make it a Model 66. StanTheMan (talk) 16:03, 14 August 2016 (EDT)

Thanks, I was going off an even worse picture when I was trying to ID it and thought there wasn't a shroud..--Quarax (talk) 18:39, 14 August 2016 (EDT)

Does anyone have an ID for Will's .22 bolt action seen in the 1st episode? Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 16:56, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

I couldn't ID it. I believe that and the revolver Jonathan takes are the last two we need to ID.--Quarax (talk) 00:24, 29 August 2016 (EDT)

I think Jon's revolver is a S&W Model 10. That's what I recall thinking when I first saw this show, but I haven't seen it in weeks so I'm not 100% sure. I do remember him asking a sporting good clerk for .38 ammo, so there's something. --PyramidHead (talk) 12:55, 29 August 2016 (EDT)

It is a Model 10. I've added it to the page along with a few screen-caps. Cozmo (talk) 11:59, 12 September 2016 (EDT)

I've made a note that the MP5K PDW should not exist since this show takes place in 1983 and some had UMP style stocks Excalibur01 (talk) 14:03, 29 August 2016 (EDT)

Were they all UMP-style stocks? I can't remember seeing an older MP5K-PDW stock.--Quarax (talk) 16:57, 26 September 2016 (EDT)

I think I saw SOME with the actual PDW stocks, but even those are still anachronistic. Excalibur01 (talk) 13:59, 27 September 2016 (EDT)

I need to double check Indiana gun laws back then, because let's assume these kids are under 18 or even if they are, gun stores in Indiana cannot sell handgun ammo to people under 21, the legal age to purchase a handgun. Excalibur01 (talk) 14:19, 12 September 2016 (EDT)

Will's Rifle

Got it! It's an old Mossberg 144LS. Took a couple of screen caps and a few hour's search on Gunbroker.com and the Googles, and voila. I'm creating a page for it right now so we can link it. Cozmo (talk) 20:45, 8 October 2016 (EDT)

That's a great find, but still doesn't seem to be quite right (note the black forend tip on Will's rifle).--Quarax (talk) 00:50, 9 October 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, you're right. This is a tough one. As I look at it again, the barrel doesn't look very long...like it's a youth rifle or something. I've scoured gun blogs, history sites, and auction sites, and this one continues to elude. I'll keep looking. Cozmo (talk) 11:20, 10 October 2016 (EDT)

On a different note, I find it kinda refreshing to see characters in a horror genre moment actually doing something like getting the gun that's in their reach to use...didn't work, but that's what you might do in real life even if you were a kid. Excalibur01 (talk) 11:33, 10 October 2016 (EDT)

Sorry the 22 rifle is not a Mossberg 144LS. The 144LS is a more modern weapon and doesn't look a lot like this one. Its actually a Mossberg 42M with the front portion of the Mannlicher stock missing. The black that you see on the front of the stock is the blued metal ban that connected the 2 pieces of the Mossberg Mannlicher stock. Iran this by the Mossberg board on Rimfirecentral and that is the consensus. Pugvol

The sights don't match the 42M and the mag doesn't seem to match. But the black bit does have a sling swivel. I really don't know. Maybe in Season 3 we'll see the rifle in daylight without people swinging it around in the dark with flashing lights.--Mandolin (talk) 16:22, 10 December 2017 (EST)
