How does one go about ordering consecutive serial

Before long, I want to get several Ruger LCP 2's for myself, wife, and probably two more for family members and think it would be best to get them all in consecutive serial numbers. How would one go about that? Are there any sellers here on GB that could order them?

    I've had a dealer request them from the wholesaler when I ordered them. That was years ago, and only two guns though.

    My FFL sells consecutive serial numbered Vaqueros. They are ordered from the wholesaler as Trap says and in pairs. Perhaps you could order 2 pair of pairs.

    I just don't see the attraction of consecutive numbers in a modern gun.

    But, if you're going to that much trouble & delay, you may as well order custom SN's: "BAMBI1, 2, 3, etc" And, some distinctive features, like gold plated hammer & trigger.

    I got this pair by accident. Ordered three, and two were consecutively numbered.

    Looks like I may end up keeping them.

    I was all enthused when a dealer set out some consecutive numbered guns, there was one or two pairs and a triple.
    He said "Son, they all come out of the factory with consecutive numbers."

    Lots of room above or below RUGER on the plastic grip frame to have a name engraved.

    or

    Thanks guys. I did buy some Dan Wesson Razorback 1 of 150's a while back from two different places and they turned out to be consecutive. My nephew and brother in law both like those guns so I have willed them one of each (I have others in that 1 of 150, but those are the only consecutive).
    To me, it would seem the odds would be good if a large company ordered these with decent quantity they would get some, but maybe not 4.
    I appreciate your input.

    I tried to get consecutive Vaqueros and the dealer tried but the distributor wouldn't do it. I have two that have a one number skip between the two. Now they offer it for an additional cost.

    I ordered 3 rifles from Cooper a few years ago. I also ask for special serial numbers they did it for a small fee.
