Intestesting mine has same upper number but lower which has to be the serial number is 02799.
Wonder if there are serial numbers below 1000? and how high they go?
The store where I purchased mine still has one for sale so he must have had more than one.
The one that sold on our Gunbroker Site several weeks ago for $500 was said to be the first of a cache of 21 new in box rifles that a importer had for 30 years? (These were such a marketing disaster) No more have been put up for auction, they were probably surprised it brought that much?
Bought a second battery that should arrive in a couple of days. You don't have to be nuts to own this gun but it helps. Lol
Here is a pic of the cocking mechanism, crazy!
