[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3918548, member: 15054"] So I was thinking how many of a certain rifle were made lets say M96 mauser. 45,000 from my research. Ok lets look at the serial number stamped parts. 3 digit numbers on the parts. Isn't that like only 999 possible combinations of numbers? If you had a lot of these and way back there were a lot of them laying around and to swap parts to get all numbers matching would give you a numbers matching rifle but it was not original. Same goes for vehicles.. Do not get caught up in numbers matching and confuse it with original. Just thinking out loud here, correct me if I am off on the math :) [/QUOTE]
