Default Pick A Serial Number - off forum topic

The whole serial number situation in context of guns tends to be a morass! The most complete, accurate and visually available of such numbers are no better than the expertise/accuracy of the person correctly identifying and recording. The old 'garbage in, garbage out' adage could hardly be more apropos!

Not quite the Forum, but note below a Swiss K31 rifle purchased from "Big Five Sporting Goods store for $99 something over a decade ago. Excellent, all (original) matching, great shooter! But collector value; Squat! Not just that. 'Pick your serial number'...
Not sure what program created situation/logic of two serial numbers present and potentially competing! Presumptively the 'new & improved' importer serial correct', yet... Seeming a dumb idea and only introducing confusion!

My take
