![]() ALL other componants were NOT serial numbered. The ACTUAL componants that were MATCHED serial numbered were: The Reciever, The Trigger Mech Housing, The Breech Block & Breech Block Carrier. Who were employed as 'Fitters' & worked from E.M.E.Rs. but it WOULD be re-numberd to match the reciver, In theory an Australian trigger mech could be fitted to a BSA reciverīeen to Donnington MANY times in the course & connection of Smallarms delivery & collection for major repairs.Īlmost ALL of the 'Armorers' there were civvies. housing was fitted from another rifle and would be re-numbed. even if the Armourer that was rebuilding the rifle had to re engrave the correct numbers, (the master number was on the upper reciver) I hope you didnt pay the full current price for an Old Spec on this deal!.Īll the serial numbers ALWAYS, ALWAYS matched. This rifle however, is a 'Bitsa' made up from parts from two different weapons. As they also served alongside brit rifles to supplement supply. You COULD correctly have enfield locking shoulders fitted to Aussie SLRs. When the headspacing (Size of the chamber for the cartridge) stretches or alters from service wear. That is correct, it could have been fitted as a replacement part in a Main Worshop. & the 'D' is the sylised Enfield Lock Logo. However on this side the prefix is AD which I think is from OzĪlso above the hinge and upsidedown its stamped 12Y then what looks like a capital D with an arrow comming out the top followed by a triangleĪnd the deac cert gives belgium as the country of origin, so have I got a pup, and is the AD marked part from an L1A1 or the fully auto support version or even the metric FAL? The top part of the recever is marked as BSA if I remember the codes correctly and the bottom part looks to be marked with an arrow by the stock with a 7 pointed star above an 8 above that, and its marked S, R, and A on the safty but the switch wont go far enough around to select A Right, just got this off the web site of a well known dealer of deac wepons where it was advetised as being a Birmingham made L1A1 unfortunatly it turns out to be a bit of a mix of parts as non of the numbers match, I should have asked more questions but as its only my second deac I didnt think. ![]()
