Just a few quick questions about the No4 Mk2 serial numbers.
- Does anyone know which contracts the early serials were made for? The lists I have seen start at PF250xxx. I have a rifle at PF187xxx.
-Were order batches allocated serial ranges, but not necessary chronologically made? I have just purchased a '53 made PF373xxx but I have seen post mentioning a '55 with a PF339xxx?
ROF Fazakerley Mk 2 serial numbers were pretty munch consecutive up to around April 1953. After 4/53 is when the allocated batch serial number contracts start to appear as you have noticed. I am currently working on a list of observed s/n's for my No. 4 book, what month are your 187K and 373K rifles as I have a large data gap between 3/53 and 4/54?

Hi lance,
Are you looking at just PF serials or UF aswell? If its both ill send data for all 4 rifles
FWIW:
- 12/'49 PF1632xx (date by very light electric pencil)
- 10/'53 PF3695xx (proof rounds only)
- UF55 A144xx (would you believe still in the Wrapper!)
