    Hello:

    Nice chunk of a 1939... I found a similar piece recently and it is in GA for the semi treatment... but its getting the front end of a 1940 Enfield model that had one of the horrid demils like the auction in question. Unfortunately, the serial portion is lost so I don't know it's real identity. Would a 1939 be in the B block? Or C to D? The 1940 that is donating the front end is a Y block gun. Chris, I can get you the serial number if you want it.

    Now that I think about it the front end is probably a 1941... Y block being the case.

    Hi Gery, The serial number would be appreciated, A Y serial number would make it a 1943 gun.

    A 1939 gun would have a serial between A7000 and C3500 ish if thats any help, unfortunatly I've not found any diffrences to help narrow the ranges down.

    ATB, Chris.
