dalbert Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 This thread was inspired by a comment that Lancer made in another post. I'd like to gather information on the serial number ranges that Kahr used on their C-Drums, and when the seral numbering ended. So, I'd like to get the following questions answered by those who own Kahr C-Drums: 1. Does your Kahr C-Drum have serial numbers on both the body, and the front cover?2. What is the serial number? (Please included prefix 0's, if it has them)3. If your C-Drum does not have a serial number, approximately when was it purchased? My Kahr C-Drum info:Only the body is serial numberedSerial number "000939"The intent is to use the serial number range information for reference in the drum and magazine pinned post. Thanks!

Uncle Dudley Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 000545 front and back---same number as my WH 28. It was a nice surprise when I opened the box to see the number match my gun. When I bought the drum the dealer said, "I have one above #1200 and one in the 500 range". I said I'll take the low number. Lucky. U D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalbert Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Excellent, so we've already narrowed down where Kahr stopped numbering both sides of the drum, between number 801 and 939. I know we'll have many more examples added by our members. Here's the latest data: David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't get 1103 from Rust, did ya? Nope. Both drums were bought from two different local gun shops. The drum 627 was bought from a shop that had drums in stock (The owner has a WH). I also bought a couple of "L" drums from him and a repo FBI case. The 1103 I got from another shop that ordered it in from one of his regular suppliers, probably JSC or RSR.

Bridgeport28A1 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) My guess is that the production facility employee responsible for applying the serial numbers just missed applying the serial number to David's drum. It is now a rare "error" Kahr drum. Merle B. told me the company that produced them is close to me, maybe I'll pay them a visit and ask them if they have a record of the cut off on serial number marking. Are the numbers laser engraved?
