For those that would like some additional background on the Mk5 ....
Check the United Kingdom - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here)
There's an "all correct" one in library along with a 117 picture photo montage...
1924 ShtLE (Short Lee-Enfield) No.1 MkV Rifle (Mfg by RSAF Enfield).
Also, in case some of you guys haven't seen it, there's an outstanding article in the form of a "stickied thread" located in Restorer's Corner Forum (click here).
It's an on-going thread with a detailed description including excellent pics of a complete restoration of a previously sporotortized SMLE No1 MkV, started last June 2010 by member bigduke6. Geoff has done an awesome job with this old girl and for any of you thinking about performing any restorations or rebuilds yourselves, it would make for a really interesting read to follow along through to its completion.
