I have lots of guns, very few strong convictions (outside of politics), and absolutely no experience on a wide range of topics. Therefore I am eminently qualified to participate in this thread.

Serial numbers seem to be important in collecting certain categories of guns in the cartridge world. But I've never seen any indication that muzzleloaders pay any attention to serial number except where a different range of numbers define some sought after feature, like a faster or slower twist.

I doubt that will change. I just don't see something comparable to Colt collections, Ruger collections, or Luger collections happening in the muzzleloader world.

Maybe you should start the first association of Kight Rifles & Accessories Collectors. You could be the president - you know, the KRAC Head.
