Of course sorry your right, a very nice looking Faz there 5thBatt. I wonder if we will ever know the true number manufactured as even Skennerton has come across rifles serialed well outside the published final figures.

The total of 169,807 often quoted as Fazakerley's production is in fact the production up to rifle serial number S8823 which would have been assembled October/November 1945, this, plus production continuing untill the end of 1947 & prefix AC, we must add about another 97,000 giving us a total of around 267,000 Fazakerley No5s
