Peter,

Good question, when I get a moment I'll browse the files and see if i can find any other consecutive numbers.

Cheers,

Simon.

"Updates and Revisions" (Sorry- it's an inside joke...)

A sharp eyed and appparently relentless researcher has notified me that one of my rifles has been recorded on this thread with an incorrect prefix letter. And he seems to be correct!

Make that first character a "C", not a "G". (BAD overstamp during a rebuild it seems)

Whoops! On several folks' part on multiple occasions.

I invite the fine, observant fellow to step forward and ID himself. I shan't give him up without permission.

So if the serial number is prefixed with a C what is the name of the signatory on the label ?
There looks to be a distinct difference between the two letters - I'm going for the serial number being a G

Perhaps Simon could tell us if C31808 is on his list, Also is the bolt or woodwork numbered and with what number?

Rifle C31808 was part of batch number 21 which consisted of 20 rifles and has a recorded conversion date of 10th August 1971.

Cheers,

Simon.

P.S. G31808 DOES NOT appear in the documentation.

Just for ease of reference, the rifle with the confusing S/N prefix can be found in several photos on the below thread (if the link works, just click on it- I'm using an antiquated IE6 computer right now, so...):

Ian Cooper the senior BOD small arms examiner got it wrong again.

There, another useless but lost bit of Enfield info for you all................ Don't try and phone him on that number he's retired now and it was the old Army phone network number!
