So has anyone heard of someone having all of one serial number by the various manufacturers of the P'14 or M'17? ;)

4. US factory .303 Patt. '14 production used the same serial numbers by the 3 manufacturers, so virtually all serial numbers in P'14 rifles are triplicated. As were M'17s. Lee-Enfield production at Enfield, BSA and LSA appear to have also started with the number 1, through letter suffixes and prefixes, so it is possible to encounter these rifles from various makers with same serial numbers.
