Lance, can you comment on the occasional apparent month dates one seems stamped on some rifles? I saw a "5/1943" somewhere recently for example.

Fazakerley produced No5's ordinarily have the month & year
BSA only have the year,

Are you asking about BSA or Faz rifles ?

Don't recall which it was now, but based on your comments gentlemen, I would assume it was a Fazackerly.

That being the case, what do we know about their use of month dates?
