Please help me learn about my new toy.

Peter: The No. 5 was, of course, the original "sporterized" No. 4 . I've read in all the usual sources about the inherent accuracy problems in this model. In your experience, was it really that bad? A couple of the sources talk about No.5's being rebuilt with a standard No. 4 action body (to improve accuracy) which would make a standard No.4 B (bubbified). Warlord 69th- you've undoubtedly gathered from the honest replies here that your rifle has little collector value but up north chopped No. 4's have made effective (and cheap) deer rifles for generations. Take your rifle to the range and see what it will do on paper.

I now have what looks like to be a 1917 S.HT L.E Enfield III. The barrel has a HV (High Volocity) stamped on it. The rifle has not or does not appear to be sporterised for there is no blewed finish on metal. I was told from the last owner the weapon was handed down to family from a service man who used it in some military conflict. could be BS. Can anyone tell me some history on this weapon please.
