    I was told by the current owner that the serial is U37330 or Y37330. He's not quite sure about the letter though.

    Cheers,
    Rifle serial number U37330 was part of batch number 50, consisting of 28 weapons and has a recorded conversion date of 20th Jan 1972. On completion it was sent to store at Donnington.

    No record of serial Y37330.

    Cheers,

    Simon.

    L39A1 UE.71.A1088 Marked 'RARDE' on buttsock. Spirit level on front sight base.

    I have an L39A1. It is from 1972 SN UE.72.A1088. It has a spirit bubble level on the front sight. It is marked 'RARDE' in grey italic paint of the left side of the buttstock. The buttstock and forend are blonde beech with the standard L-E grip (and not the C grip). The rear sight is the AJP TZ 4/47. It has a standard late manufacture aftermarket No 4 303 magazine.

    This rifle is now located in Philadelphia. It will soon be located in Boston as my wife is the newest VP at IBM. She starts her new job with IBM on Monday. We will be relocating to Boston.

    I have scanned earlier post and noted that UE.72. A1086 went to stores at Donnington. This is the rifle owned by the US Service member in Iraq.

    I am a former Infantry Officer in the US Army. I served as an infantry commander in US 7 Infantry (Cottonbalers) and as a Foreign Training Officer in the USDoS/USDoD Military Assistance Program, etc.

    Note: I made a typo in the header-- SN should read UE.72.A1088 as in the body of the message.
