Not a lot of these rifles out there to study, and the few I've seen seem to have some variation. On a good representative example, should the serial numbers on the bolt, receiver, and floor plate match? Any other serials to look for?

From the page http://www.rifleman.org.uk/Enfield_Rifle_No.7.html:

The high value has resulted in a number of rifles, of both marks (meaning the No. 7 and No. 9) being built up from a mixture of spares and re-manufactured parts. Caveat Emptor!


Would a No. 7 with non-matching BS-prefix serial numbers on the receiver, bolt, and floor plate be an example of such a built up rifle, and if so, what effect would this have on the value?

Thanks for any info!
