Do I remember wrong ??

Am I remembering this wrong?

I thought those of us who signed up for the Sidewinders in the first two days were in the running for serial numbers under 50 ??

No they but all the names in a hat and drew 20

I got a feeling they've been doing this hat pull all along but mine was used for bubble gum and thrown away .

I think it was the first week.   I think most people signed up by then.

From June 2012 Soapbox:

"Guns ordered through the Early Bird program will be serialized with a special prefix and the sequence will start with 0001 (ie. SWEB0001).  All orders received by midnight Mon. 06/04 will be entered into a pool; the entries will then be randomly drawn to determine the sequence.  Orders received on 06/05 and thereafter will be sequenced in the order received.  No custom or reserved serial numbers will be available during this program."

There appears to be no established quantity for the "lottery" drawn early serial numbers. The first twenty were just the number they completed in the first production batch... as I recall that quantity was based on the number of parts received by outside vendors, allowing complete assembly.

Thanks, I couldn't find the thread with that

I guess over the months my memory faded, LOL
