Sussex Armoury Jackal Numbering

[Josie & John]

The s/n of my Jackal is 06675 stamped on LHS just in front of loading tap lever.

I bought it S/H a number of years ago and there was no paperwork with it so I have no idea of its purchase date.

Not a direct answer to your specific questions, but my .22” Parabellum is s/n 02630. May help give an idea of production volumes over the years.

Hi John

I will give you a list of mine tomorrow when I get on my computer for the detailed files.

Very Big Mike on here had the Jackals Lair website which was a font of knowledge but I believe it is not live anymore.

Thank you Geezer and Paddy,

Yes I recall the Jackal's lair and it is a shame that resource is no longer available. I wish I'd downloaded some of the information on it when it was still live.

Kind regards,

John

Interesting. Assuming SA numbers started at 0000, 100, or 1000 in 1977, that s/ns were sequential, and bearing in mind that the SE90 was only briefly produced 1989-91, that suggests around 40,000 rifles over 23ish years, so an average annual production rate of around 2,000 - though I imagine a fair bit more in the 70s through mid-80s, and tailing off quickly after new fixed-barrel rifles like the HW77 - and eventually the TX - appeared on the market.
