Enfield Production Numbers

Alan De Enfield · 11-15-2009, 02:21 PM

I have come to the conclusion that :
A) The UK Police will not let me have an ‘unlimited’ number of Enfields
B) I cannot afford the aforesaid unlimited number of Enfields

Therefore my collection needs to become more focussed. I am planning to concentrate on the models that were more specialised or consisted of smaller production runs. To help me prioritise I have been investigating the production numbers of various marks / models and would welcome input as to how correct these numbers are.

Any suggestions and / or corrections welcome.

No1 MkV Trials. RSAF Enfield manufactured 20,000 rifles.

No1 MkVI Trials RSAF Enfield manufactured 1000 rifles.

No4 Trials RSAF manufactured 2500 rifles

No4Mk1T & Mk1*T. Longbranch manufactured 1000, and Holland & Holland converted 23,000 rifles.

No5 Mk1 Fazakerly and BSA combined manufacture 250,000+

No6 Mk1 Lithgow manufactured 100 rifles

No6 Mk1/1 Lithgow manufactured 100 rifles

No7Mk1 BSA manufactured 2500 rifles

Cno7Mk1 Longbranch manufactured 20,000 rifles

No8 Fazakerly manufactured 15000 and BSA manufactured 2000 rifles

No9 Parker Hale manufactured 3000 rifles.

L39A1 RSAF Enfield manufactured 1500 rifles

The last Military Enfield L42A1 RSAF Enfield manufactured 1000.

The last Enfield – Enforcer manufactured by Enfield & Parker Hale. 767 rifles.

I realise that there are numerous others, in particular that pre-date the No1 MkV trials rifles but I’ve got enough to get started with in this list.

I must admit that in view of the demand (read high prices) for a 4T I was surprised that so many were made. In comparison, the L39s, L42s and Enforcers are very under-priced.
