Within the serial range, I have a representative rifle for each 100 increment except in the 200 and 4800 ranges. All of the other 100 increments have multiple rifles reported. Most documentation that you see on these rifles state that there were 5000 rifles produced for the Colombians....however, as you can see, I have a rifle reported at 0013 and one at 6493. It is my contention that more than 5000 rifles were produced....more like 6500 as my small sampling of 311 rifles indicates. Eventually, I'll fill in some blanks on the other 2 s/n ranges where I have no sample. I also would find it difficult to believe that since what I have goes to 6493+ representations as indicated in the other 100 increments, that the 6500 should be the target number rather than the 5000 that so many use without any documentation.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. Sam Adams

Steve Irwin's (the crocodile hunter) style of talking is very much standard in Queensland, with slight variances around the country. Thank you for the warm welcome - sorry that my response has been somewhat belated.
