Got any guns with cool serial numbers?

I was doing some insurance paperwork on my guns and noticed my Glock model 20 (10mm) has an interesting serial number.

1BAD10xUS

I think it looks like "One BAD 10 . US"

Anyway, it isn't like serial number 1 or anything, but I thought it was cool...

What's yours?

    Well I have BROWNING HIGH POWER made in 1969. the serial number is 69C22898. 69 being one of my favorate positons beside's the prone position. and the letter C is the first initial of my last name. And the number 9 is for 9mm. And the numbers 22 and 88, add them together and that's how much money I don't have in my wallet. I tried.

    No cool serial numbers, but my Remington 581 shares the same number as the catalog number for the Mozart clarinet quintet, K. 581-one of my favorite pieces of music. I was looking for a left handed .22, not mny of them around- Had to choose between a browning, a savage or a Remington 581. With that number, I just had to pick the remington.

    My dad has one of those old Remington autos, I forget what the model number is, that will shoot shorts, longs and long rifle and is a take down. The serial number is 222.

    a couple of friends of mmine had rifles made for them(around $5,000 each). any way, you could use any serial # you wanted, they both chose their initials and date of birth. it read like TKR012376

    i thought that was pretty cool, but for 5 grand!

    Nothing unusual about mine. They are hard to read as they appear ghostly in the metal. Some only have 1 number you can read.

    This is a NIB Minni-14, have an older 181 that's the shooter.

    Not a serial # deal, but is a bit unusual. Posted this back last winter and generated some interesting comments. BTW, the S/N is not double-stamped or rather "roll-marked".

    I used to own an HK-93 rifle with the serial number 122333 (one number 1, two number 2, and three number 3)...it was very easy to remember. I recall about 20 years ago some fellow ran a number of classified ads in the Shotgun News for a Walther PPK he owned with the serial number XXX007. He was trying to sell the gun to James Bond fans for HUGE money (about three times the normal retail price). I don't know if it ever sold at the listed price.

    Mark X Mauser. A2345 First letter of my last name (and the alphabet) than sequential from there. Works real well in SN poker too (streight with a Ace).

    A few months ago, I bought a Glock 27 with the serial number:

    FKU***

    I bought it from a very large gunshop. I asked them to look for one with the numbers following the FKU that I wamted, but no luck.

    Still, it'd be funny to have to REALLY use it, and see the looks on the cops faces when they saw the first 3 digits of the SN.

    Anybody else got a Glock 27 starting with FKU?

    I had a Glock once whose digits were "007." Sad to see 'er go.

    When they first started shipping Chinese AKM-47S into the country I got 000620. I also have a S&W 32 lemon squeezer with SN 111151. Other than that the rest are not unusual.

    This is the coolest! Got one that has my initials and birthday right in a row! I cheated though. Once got a lunchbox pistol. Too rare to do anything but keep, so I called ATF and was told to put a serial number on it using alphanumerics. MAC3xxx. Really "personalized"

    G'Day all,
    Once met a profesional Kangaroo shooter(harvester) and his Rifle was a C.M.C.(Howa) Australian Mountaineer(special release only for here in OZ)
    It calibre was .222rem and the serial No. was ROO-0222.
    What the odds of that?[:0]

    Trinity, I don't think anyone put thier FULL serial # on here. We at least substituted an x in place of one place. They've got all of mine 'cept a few anyway since I purchase new when possible.

    Yes, HappyNanoq, I'll give ya credit for that one! I'd love to go shooting with you sometime. You have some neat weapons and a home-made silencer is the icing on the cake. We'd have a lot to talk about!
