| Model | Serial Numbers | Year Made | |
| Sniper I | 1 - 500 | 1987 |
Bud was making Sniper 1 - machined bodies - in his garage |
| Sniper I | 500 - 2107 | 1988 - 1989 (<Summer) | Paintslinger16 : "WGP made the switch from a machined to an extruded receiver. Snipers with serial numbers over 2000 have the extruded bodies, as do all the new Sniper II's." (774 Thumper says) |
| Sniper 1 1/2 | 2108 - 2524 | Early 1989 |
http://www.mcarterbrown.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=viewnews&id=230 Reference : From November of 1989 APG issue If it's over #2100 then they will have the sniper II body. They used up the Sniper 1 stock (so the #2100 - 2500 is more or less a sniper 1 1/2, after that they were true sniper II's. Joelrf600r: "a 1.5 is the nickname for the transition guns that didn't have all the sniper2 features, but had the extruded sniper2 body. They essentially have the extruded body, but still have the sniper1 style bolt/block combo. some of them have the sniper1 pump, others have the sniper2 pump. i don't know what the number range is for them." |
