SMLE No1 Mk V........ to be correct, you won't see many rear sights as spares etc apart from the Aperture part, most are destroyed when folk try and remove them.
Brings a tear to my eye as I handed over my Mk V to its new owner yesterday but its gone to a good home, sad start of the day for me and a good day for him. Although a phone call not long after, to enquire about a rifle turned out a lot better than expected so the smile soon returned.

Ahhh, no.
The nomenclature change that made the MkIII rifle the Rifle, No1 MkIII did not occur until May 1926, two years after the end of production of the MkV. Then, being an "experimental" rifle, the MkV had never been announced in the List of Changes, it was not a production weapon so it did not exist for the purpose of the nomenclature changes. It remains the Sht LE MkV.

If he needs a contact in this part of the world, I would be more than happy to help how ever I can. Growing and showing their independence is important at their age, but you can never have too many people on your side.

Thanks Son, my mistake was reading about the No. 2 Mk. IV* which was a ShtLE Mk. IV ConD. plus other .22 conversions...... more to do with the Hiscock Parker magazine
" Magazine, .22" Rifle, Mk.I " if thats correct ?
