I have an RSA Enfield made SMLE from 1916. Is it possible to know the approximate time of year it was made by the serial number? It's a "Z" block rifle, so i'm assuming it was very late in the year. I'd heard that BSA started 1916 off in the "Z" block but can't find any info regarding Enfield's production run.

I don't really know much about British guns, so it's to be expected. This is kind of why - Royal Small Arms Enfield isn't the same as Enfield, apparently. :rolleyes:.Quote:
