    According to the Irish archives, the very last dated rifle they accepted was UF55 A21266. All of the rifles in that serial range A15,xxx to A21266 seem to have been packed between June and August of 1955.

    Early on when I was collecting serial numbers I came across the following UF 55 high end/ UF56 A serial numbers:

    UF55 A 35444 Used, very good condition
    UF55 A 38104 Used, excellent Fulton regulated, in UKicon
    UF55 A 38859 Well used, replacement bolt (RAF issue) in UK

    UF56 A 401xx
    UF56 A 43413
    UF56 A 44816

    So it seems to indicate that the UF56 series starts north of 39,000 and before 40,1xx
