Don't understand any of that thread (thread 160) Topfmine! What about a photo that might better ask the question............. Without a photo it seems to me that you have a bog standard K-reg Mk1A gun

Posted elsewhere but, here are my gun numbers but with a bit more detail:
Enfield Mk1 1940 D8956 - DE marked, BSA stacked rifle markings on butt parts, matching butt group, barrel nut and barrel numbers, butt disc fitted, Mk 1* barrel
Inglis Mk1m 1941 N2790 - FTR'd Lithgow 1952 fitted with Mk ll barrel
Enfield Mk3 1949 LB38428 - all matching Nos inc barrel, looks to have had very little use

Just to add the serial of my recently acquired INGLIS 1942. MK1M Bren. IT5341. on upper and lower receiver, near butt. Also has New Zealand serial to all black barrel , NZ 5839'. plus, opposite barrel nut, 'NZ3543'. which is stamped AND engraved.
Came with chest (no bumper bar on front) this has '5839' painted on, same number as barrel.
Seem to be lots of 'JI' Markings, certain parts not sure about ( a newbie,my first Deac and probably the last after the recent UK/EU law change )
VERY pleased with purchase overall though has an odd bipod! looks like it started life as an adjustable one, but is now non adjustable... worn finish doesn't match rest of gun which is very good so, at some point in its life it has acquired a replacement I suppose. cannot remove as barrel is now fixed? not that it matters, just never seen another bipod like this.......so far.
Can anyone tell me date of manufacture (month) and anything about its history?

1T5341 is going to be from around May 42, this is based on average production so it could actually be either side.

Same here. It won't be far out from that - if at all!

MISTAKE!!
Just realised, I FORGOT A SERIAL......there's ANOTHER serial number. 'IT8279' on the barrel next to nut lever/latch.
'IT8279' Must be another Canadian Bren?........is this one listed?

The number on the barrel locking nut is not the serial number for your gun so is irrelevant. It belongs to the gun with that number on the body. The barrel locking nut is numbered to the gun for technical reasons.
