Hi...

I looked over your info on the #1 Mk5's and have a question. My rifle has only a 3 digit serial# and manufacture date of 1924. How can this be if Mk5 rifles were only produced thru 1924 and 20,000 were made? Could the receiver been made much earlier and serial numbered at that time and then after completion of the entire rifle had the 1924 date stamped on it?

The Brits still have their "own" way of doing things so I guess my end of production low serial number rifle should come as no surprise!!

Thanks
