The following figures have been consolidated (by me) from various Ministry of Supply statistical summaries in the Public Records Office.
As the preamble to these publications remarks, these figures are 'inspected and delivered into MoS store' based on C.I.S.A.'s records of inspection, and there would be some time lag before rifles were in the hands of troops.
Actual receiver production would run somewhat ahead of this.
A word on the sources: The presentation of the data varied somewhat over time, earlier tables are for the calendar year, and figures are for Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4, later (postwar) tables broke it down by month, and are for the Financial Year (which for the government starts April 1st in Britain). I have presented it all by calendar year.Information
