No5 Jungle Carbine

Could this No5 be a fake that was converted from something else??? All the serials match but its missing the "o" from "ROF(f)". Also can someone tell me what date this firearm was made? I have very little knowledge about Lee's. The last two numbers of the serial were very professionally eddited out ;) Thanks in advance guys :)


Here are the links to the pics in case they dont show up

Images missing for me so no help

Sorry i just reuploaded them Not sure if it worked

Those photos are no help to identify if it is genuine or fake, Do a search here (NO 5 Lightening Cuts) and check that it has the correct lightening cuts that is the only way to be sure. Does have a beautiful wood set.

Looks OK to me is the rear sight graduated to 800 yards?
Date of manufacture is January 1946

Yeah the wood is amazing! if its real do you know what its worth? :) Also what is the year of production?

Yes, rear sight goes up to 800 :)

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it, depends if someone wants one or not. With a D serial number should be February 1944.

The serial begins with a U its hard to see because of the flash

Faz made them in 43 and 44 although Skennerton agrees some were made after but no dates other than the 43 and 44 in his book, he does intimate that later ones were AF, but with all things Lee Enfield never say never.

Check on here for the lightening cuts to look for and that will tell you if genuine or not again as for value so many factors quality of barrel all matching parts etc.

Dick

The cuts have been made :) so its a real carbine! All matching and barrel is in good (7.5/10) condition
