Easier to remember a single number, then those of a larger group.

Jim,
I bet you remember your first carbine's serial number.
If not, just glance at your letter head.

Enjoy the weekend,

Charlie,

I do remember the first one I bought in 1973. That is the one on my letterhead.
But for some reason I can't remember the whole serial number of my 1968 issued M-2 from Viet Nam. Guess I'm getting old.

Football and fantasy league scoring all day tomorrow. Tough way to spend the day, I know.

Enjoys what's left of yours too.
Jim

remember my Serial number, but never bothered to remember those rifle numbers, any of them from the Army. It just wasn't important enough I guess. Sure wish I had that brand new H&R M14 now, it would be VERY important to me now.

I don't think any of us will ever forget our Service Number. Hell, we even stenciled it on our skivies.

It's even easier today. You Service Number is your Social Security number now.

You mean as in "SIR! AF186181XX SIR!" Nope, when I forget that number I'm done.
Still got my laundry stamp. Not for fond memories, but I just never throw anything away.
Just ask my wife.......

There are so XX's again. But in this case the right thing to do.

[phil441]

Yup Jim, you can have my Underwood's S/N (2655510) but mine is still AF186181XX (SIR!).

My 1903 Remington (modified) has the easiest serial number to remember, #3222222
