Here We Go Again - No. 5 Advice

[Alan de Enfield]

And that is why you bring it here! Based upon that, it sounds like an Indian copy where they ground off the No 4 stampings?

I disagree.
From the limited pictures it shows the correct weight reducing modifications to the action and I suggest it is a correct No5 Action, but the barrel ............ ? (cannot tell)
India had quite a lot of No5's which got the 'cleansing' treatment and Indian add-ons.

Nothing wrong with it, it just has Indian history / service in addition to UK History. *

The shape of the body below the Rear sight is NOT the No4 shape, but it IS the No5 shape.

* based on the limited photographs.
