Hope this helps shed some light on the serial number mystery. (I’m not a statistician, just used High School Math!) If anyone knows of better data, please share it with us on this forum. The data was derived from extrapolation, not Savage Production Data (which seems to be missing). Remember these approximations for reference. Total Production ~1,028,903 units producedĪssuming 1942 was a ramp-up year, full production was attained by mid 1942, and continued at full production throughout 1943, and then dropped down in the last 2 months of production (May-June 1944), we can project these serial numbers connected to these APPROXIMATE dates: ![]() The serial number is DA22567A, above the serial number it says NO.4 MK1 F (FTR) that is all the markings I can really see on the gun and I was wondering what year the rifle was made, the model it is, & how much it is. ![]() Fortunately there is enough data in Owner’s Survey from another post on this site to determine how to link Production Dates to Serial Numbers (within a month’s accuracy)ġ3C2752 - 1942 MKI highest MKI # 1942 dateġ3C2845 - 1942 MKI* lowest MKI* # 1942 dateģ6C1916 - 1942 MKI* highest MKI* # 1942 dateĥ1C7693 - no date lowest MKI* # with no dateĠC63110 - no date highest MKI* # with no dateįirst, the Serial Number is the clue to the Production Volume.įor example, the serial number 96C1106 means the 961,106 gun off the production line.ġ941 ~ 2,800 units produced, beginning July 22, 1941ġ943 ~445,000 units produced units/monthġ944 ~220,000 units produced, ending June 22, 1944 Hey guys, I just recently was given by my boss a Lee Enfield NO.4 MK1 303 British that I am trying to gather all the info about.
