    My dad sold his in the 60's I think, for $24 Can. My brother has dad's No4 Mk1 which was bought unused for $25 Can, back in the 50's, the dealer in Calgary had bought a large consignment. Aren't the No 5's currently around £800 in the UKicon?

    As an average price, yes, anything between £700-£1000 for a decent one from a dealer, when you can find them. A mate in my club bought a mint one off of Richard at Devizes around this time last year, and paid over a £1000 for it. I paid £850 for mine over 2 years ago from C&G.

    Do you know if this was rifle serial A124?

    Well, I still have a second one for sale, not as nice as the one that John bought from me, but still...

    I couldn't say, I know it was a wartime date, but can't remember if it was a '44 or early '45 dated rifle.

    Just found a No5 at Donaldsons, converted to 308, looks very tidy and priced at £799. Sorry, a converted No 4, trust me to get it wrong.

    Here is the link. S/H .308 Enfield, Lee No.4 Jungle Carbine Rifle - All Rifles For Sale - Donaldson Guns, Gunsmiths and shooting Sports in Buckinghamshire
