Help: SH GAP AR10 2004 Group Buy

[HutchMichaelson]

Recently, I purchased this rifle from a friend's collection. He was part of the SH group buy from GAP in 2004. For circumstances I won't go into here, he is not around to tell me all of the details about this rifle.

I don't know much about it, and I'm brand new to precision rifles. I've found bits and pieces of info., but hope there are still some guys around who have the original build sheet from this batch. I haven't bothered George yet, since he has been busy.

How many were made? Is there significance in the serial numbers?
Exactly what are the parts in the rifle? Specs?
What are the "quirks" of this rifle? (any long-run problems, likes/dislikes certain ammo, etc.)
What accessories(if any) did these rifles come with?
Original price? Value?(for insurance)
Story behind the group buy?

I'm just looking for any info, since I have none, and like to know the details and history of what I own. Plus, I know I will never get rid of this rifle because of the friend that owned it and the quality.

Thanks for the help! Here are some pics.

These were originally $1900 through the GB, they have Mike Rock barrels and are GAP Built as stated, most are extremely accurate.

I think there was less than 50 made... maybe 35 ? I don't recall.

There were 50 made and they are exactly like Lowlight posted.
