Guy at a gunshop claims to have a Springfield with RFK 1 in the place where the serial number usually is. Haven't seen it with my own eyes, and this guy has been known to BS. Were there any "Special" serial numbers given out? Seems like Teddy Roosevelt got a low number, but I never heard of any out of sequence, or special numbers.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Nothing I've ever heard of. Is there a link or pictures?

My guess is he has seen Greek stocks with a SN in them and is referring to an RIA FK rebuild cartouche in the stock thinking a SN should be there and not the rifle SN on the receiver.
