Validate my Original Unissued No.5 Mk1 Jungle Carbine
Posted this in another forum: Unissued No.5 Mk1 Lee Enfield - Album on Imgur and was immediately told it was not original, as the buttstock, bolt and rear sight were incorrect for the following reasons:
1) buttstock has S stamped so it's a 'short' buttstock which were never fitted on No.5's. rifle measures 39.5" so I know it's the right length: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
2) Rear sight is a half of Fazakerly and Long Branch. The idiot thought the crown on the right side of the aperture was an LB...so that's proven wrong, plus the aperture is marked F on the left side.
3) Bolt is a replacement..even though it's matching serial number with no apparent sign of an 'original' serial number being marked out.
I even had Brian Dick with BDLLTD confirm it's authenticity and originality.

Everyone is saying I should just admit I'm wrong, but I know I'm right.
What do you think?
