This is the last of the line of .303 caliber bolt action rifles from Lee-Enfield to be issued to British forces, the Rifle no5 mk1, also known as the Jungle Carbine, due to it being specifically designed for the war in the Far East and Burma.     Production began in March 1944, and finished in December 1947.  Manufactured at BSA Shirley factory in Warwickshire, this rifle is a genuine No5 and marked No5 MK1 on the left side of the breech. Good undamaged hardwood furniture, with matching serial number stamped on forestock, and good metalwork retaining alot of the original blued finish under the painted finish, though some rust pitting to the lightened bolt. A bonus being the presence of the often removed bayonet lug and correct 800yd ladder sights. Comes complete with green jungle webbing sling, and cocks and dry fires, with detachable 10-round magazine. Inert .303 bullets are not included, but are shown to compliment this classic weapon. These inert cartridges are available at £1.50 each in the 'Inert Ammunition' section. Deactivated in the UK with Certificate to UK specification.
