I have, in fact, checked the stickies and I couldn't find the info.......

The Gen 1 XM 24 was a run of 10........so pretty small Generation..........but how many 3" Gen 1 XMs were made......???

I have only ever seen pics of them deeeeeeeep into the pic threads........I have never seen one posted.........
Since they would all have been hand ground.........and the majority of Rick's customs seem to be 3.5's.........I am guessing that the numbers would be low........
How long was Rick grinding the Gen 1 3" XM (years...???)......and ballparking numbers.......are we talking tens......or hundreds..........

Just curious.......any info would be appreciated..........

Hmm, not sure I follow that.

Per the Generation thread, Gen 1 3" XM-18 was about a 2 1/2 year period. I have no idea how many runs he did during that time.

and ballparking numbers.......are we talking tens......or hundreds..........

Probably hundreds, but I doubt anyone knows for certain the exact numbers.

Rich.......I just meant that I haven't seen too many pics of a 3" Gen 1 posted in the pic thread in the last year (although there have been a couple)........you have to go back quite a ways in the thread to start seeing them......

I also went back to check on the dates in the stickies.......you're right......it was there......Oct. 2006 - May 2009......:D

Thanks for the info.......it answered a few questions I've had for a while........
