Lee Enfield No. 6 MKI Lithgow Jungle Carbine

This is a Lithgow jungle carbine MKI trial weapon. These were the expiremental versions of the jungle carbines. It's a very rare rifle with a serial number of XP214. The rifle is in excellent condition with no rust or pitting, the barrel has perfect rifling. If you want to add a very rare rifle to your collection this would be it.

That muzzle looks a lot like a Bren flash hider! Out of my realm of experience too, but even if it was, I sure wouldn't be dropping that kind of coin on an internet auction "can't hold it in my hands" deal................ WAY too many fakes out there.
