Where have the good No5 rifle all gone?

[mrclark303]

Morning all. I have my new No5 from Promo and couldn't be happier.

It was kindly received by Richard Stork and its a super example.

Fazakerley May 1945 with a normal butt, she's seen virtually no use, gauges as new with a pristine bore and fitted with a "0" bolt head that also has absolutely no pitting or primer marks on its face, fully intact rubber butt pad too.

All parts appear to be Faz, correct and as built.

The woodwork needs a bit of tidying up and she will be heading for the workshop this weekend for a bit of light work.

She has the appearance of being carried quite a bit but very rarely shot.

Traces of rock hard cosmoline all over her at present.

German proofed.

Pics next week. I need a bayonet for her next..

All in all I couldn't be happier with it, Cheers Promo, many thanks mate!
