L42 To good to be true.

The serial number should tell you something. CO indicates Charnwood Ordnance. Have you ever heard the phrase '.....straight as a corkscrew?' If something is too good to be true, it usually is!

Confused of Sussex.
Peter is 2C0520 a typical Charnwood serial number or is it a early MK1 Savage serial number?
I thought the rifle had a few issues but wanted an expert opinion just in case.

Hi Peter glad you are keeping well. Just a little info for you and everyone here that is not a serial number sequence we ever used. We never had a reason to make any L42s we had hundreds of then from all makers BSA Savage etc. I hope this helps with this rifles authenticity or not of course
Cheers
