LE No. 5 in .308, issued to any Armed Forces?

[Beerhunter]

I know it´s not going to be easy, but there must have been one or two units somewhere in the world that were issued with the No. 5, .308 kit rifles.

Not in the British Army, I'm afraid. If you think about it why would we? We had enough L1A1 SLRs to equip everyone.

For that matter why would any other army? Bolt-action rifles were wildly out of date by the time NATO moved to 7.62mm round plus Mikhail Timofeevich's product was becoming more pervasive.

BTW, when a jungle rifle was needed for the Gurkhas in Borneo we bought AR15s.
