Lance, can you comment on the occasional apparent month dates one seems stamped on some rifles? I saw a "5/1943" somewhere recently for example.
Fazakerley produced No5's ordinarily have the month & year
BSA only have the year,
Are you asking about BSA or Faz rifles ?
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
