To add a little bit of info to the subscriber stuff.
If a person passed away,, or decided to let their number go, it could be re-assigned to another person. So, sometimes,, a subscriber would not necessarily have any of the guns prior to the number he was assigned.
Or own dearly departed friend, mentor & former owner of this great Forum became a later owner of serial number 100. Do a search for "Flatgate & the serial number 100 guns." You'll see that many of us chipped in to buy a bunch of #100 guns from a previous subscriber to gift to him. Carl was a great guy, and set the standard for how good this Forum is.
