Posted this in another forum: Unissued No.5 Mk1 Lee Enfield - Album on Imgur and was immediately told it was not original, as the buttstock, bolt and rear sight were incorrect for the following reasons:

1) buttstock has S stamped so it's a 'short' buttstock which were never fitted on No.5's. rifle measures 39.5" so I know it's the right length: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

2) Rear sight is a half of Fazakerly and Long Branch. The idiot thought the crown on the right side of the aperture was an LB...so that's proven wrong, plus the aperture is marked F on the left side.

3) Bolt is a replacement..even though it's matching serial number with no apparent sign of an 'original' serial number being marked out.

I even had Brian Dickicon with BDLLTD confirm it's authenticity and originality.

Again, here are the photos: Unissued No.5 Mk1 Lee Enfield - Album on Imgur

Everyone is saying I should just admit I'm wrong, but I know I'm right.

What do you think?
