Hey guys

Anyone know how to translate the abbreviations and/or what they mean?

Thanks
 
You asked for it...here goes:

Reference Number Category Code (RNCC)
A code designating the relationship of the Reference Number to the item of supply (ACodP-1 NATO Manual on Codification Sub-Section 553, Table 08)


Reference Number Variation Code (RNVC)
A code to indicate whether the cited Reference Number is or is not item identifying or is for information only (ACodP-1 NATO Manual on Codification Sub-Section 553, Table 12).

DF= Canadian Armed Forces

NCAGE = NATO Commercial and Governmental Entity. This was originally a 5 digit number but has now been expanded to numbers and letters to designate a manufacturer or a supplier.

RNCC=3
Design Control Reference. The primary number used to identify an item of production or a range of items of production, by the manufacturer (individual, company, firm, corporation, or government activity) which controls the design, characteristics, and production of the item by means of its engineering drawings, specifications and inspection requirements.

RNVC=2
A Design Control Reference or other Reference Number that is an item-identifying number for an item of production, or is either a source control reference, a specification or a standard part, type, or similar Reference Number that is an item identifying number for an item of supply.

L0278 =DIRECTORATE OF DISPOSAL, SALES,^ARTEFACTS AND LOANS
48162 = RIFLE,ENFIELD NO 4 MK I, .303 CAL,MODIFIED TO SPORTING MODEL FOR SURVIVAL KIT,42 IN. O/A LG,W/5 SHOT MAGAZINE STOCK FITTED W/RECOIL PAD

It is my guess the this will be a reference number assigned by DHH to account for the EAL survival rifles, which are presently held in the NSN system as 1005-21-808-9499 and will be issued to museums as 9915-20-A01-4314

NCAGE is the manufacturer code and reference number is the part number. If you have access to the cgcs on a dwan computer hover your mouse over the NCAGE and it shows who it is
 
Thanks Rob!

I think I understand about 50% but that is not bad I suppose....this supply talk has made me feel dirty...must go shower now!

I was going to suggest Tylenol when I posted it. It's pretty dry and of course goes much deeper....more than anyone really needs to know. Myself included...most of that was just copy and paste.

Was that directed at me?
