This is an interesting thread. The comment that hits closest to what might be the truth of the matter to me has be that of MG1890, which has to do with a potential investigation by the company. The idea that it has something to do with advertising has some merit as well as I see it, although magazine companies more likely than not would have had all of their subscription data handy for any company upon request. 0 -

I wonder if it had anything to do with how the guns were doing after they had been used? If registration of the firearm with the factory for any warranty work was not required when purchased then they would not have any idea as to where the guns were. I know of a few different people who've been contacted by Honda and asked if they would return their outboard trolling motors so that they could be factory inspected to see how they were doing. Honda offered them a free current model of their motor in exchange. 0 -
To me, the last line might tell the whole purpose:
