L39 owners weekend reading............

[Alan de Enfield]

Very interesting (as an L39 owner) Peter thanks for that - I'd certainly like to hear the l42 blurb when you've got your breath back!
Does anyone know how many L39s were made?

From my investigations :

No4Mk1T & Mk1*T. Longbranch manufactured 1000, and Holland & Holland converted 23,000 rifles.

No5 Mk1 Fazakerly and BSA combined manufacture 250,000+

No6 Mk1 Lithgow manufactured 100 rifles

No6 Mk1/1 Lithgow manufactured 100 rifles

No7Mk1 BSA manufactured 2500 rifles

Cno7Mk1 Longbranch manufactured 20,000 rifles

No8 Fazakerly manufactured 15000 and BSA manufactured 2000 rifles

No9 Parker Hale manufactured 3000 rifles.

L39A1 RSAF Enfield manufactured 1500 rifles

The last Military Enfield L42A1 RSAF Enfield manufactured 1000.

The last Enfield – Enforcer manufactured by Enfield & Parker Hale. 767 rifles.

Then there is the L59 but that wasnt a 'live' rifle.

Peter - so apart from the action, barrel and bolt, 'anything goes' with regard to sights, furniture and magazines ?

Thanks, Alan, for typing out my shopping list for me

Alan missed the short and lightened No1 Mk111s (100)
only 98 No6 mk1
only 96 No6 mk1/1
Some of these where used in the trials conversion of 7.62 nato so the numbers are even smaller
