Thread: Rifles with consecutive serial numbers

Just putting it out there if any of you have come across this before?
Due to having to renew my FAL I was going through the details of my rifles and found I have a couple with consecutive serial numbers. Bit of a fluke, but pretty cool all the same.

Pretty sure @akaroa1 has posted about this previously

@dannyb thanks. I’ve just found his post. Certainly rare alright although with the age of his it’s more impressive. Mine are a couple of medium actioned Sakos

Yeh I have consecutively numbered Marlin Ballard no4 38-55 around 150 years old
One came from Northland and the other from Southland a year later

@akaroa1 with the age of those it must’ve been like winning the lottery ! Well worth keeping together .

I asked to get consecutive numbers on my AIs when I ordered but they wouldn’t because of the different action lengths.
Which was fair, but worthwhile asking all the same I thought.

@Moutere For sure . Bit of a shame it couldn’t be done. I was considering selling one of mine before I found all this out. I think I’ll hold onto them now though.
