I did post earlier that it was a 2006 in error. I’m not really well versed in the serial numbers.

Should clarify most not all were custom shop made. Interesting. I thought I once read that all the 4 digits and under were reserved for CS Guns. So not entirely true?

The later ones from what I was told (can we use that term for 4 digit classics lol) were made at the factory and super grade stocks put on them.. I really should of bought that damn 4 digit super grade couple months back. It was an G18xx
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The first run of custom shop classics began about 1988. I ordered #G39 at the Vegas show in 1988 from Bruno Pardee of USRA. These first guns were all in .338 Win Mag. I selected the lowest serial number available, specified matte metal and stock and deluxe wood. It was $1200.
It was a very nice rifle, though I never fired it. A few years later, I sold the gun to my (late) old friend Ike Ellis, who then lived in Rexburg, Idaho. I have no idea what became of it, but wish I had it back.

Why does the letter state unknurled bolt handle yet the one in the pics is knurled? Maybe I am missing something.
