Do you find this laughable

[Alpo]

This isn't my gun, so I have no problem posting this picture.

 

Someone says he has a Smith & Wesson Model 36, serial number BPS70XX.

 

And then he posts the following picture.

 

 

 

I don't know - just seems to defeat the purpose of the XX.

The BPS number was not stamped by the factory.

 

But I understand your question.  More pathetic than laughable.

They've gone to that "looks like it was put in there with a nail set" lettering system lately. I don't know if they do it with steel guns, but I have aluminum framed guns and I have titanium framed guns and that's how they're marked.

The SSN thing is laughable and shows a lack of common sense....as does posting a picture of a firearm in such deplorable condition.

Tragic.

I agree completely.

Do you notice when people post pictures of their vehicles they blot out the License Plate number? But every place they drive to, every time it's on the street, the number is on display for all to see.

seems to defeat the XX in my mind but maybe he didnt realize what he was slowing in the photo ?
