Lee-Enfield Rifles captured in Afghanistan 2006

That is most excellent work, and in better shape than some of the used examples that I have seen for sale on the private market in Canada.

Thank you for obtaining the photographs to share.

Hi Darren, the No5's owner was more than happy to share his rifle with us, love to know if any more made it back to the west ?

It's a rare bird that one, I did not encounter any No.5 pattern rifles, genuine, or Khyber pass during my visit there, that rifle may be one of very examples ever seen. I do have some more Lee Enfield photo requests with other contacts from the various deployments, and I think I may have some positive returns in development, time will tell.

It's a shame due to the nature of the country that we all didn't have a little more time to play tourist, but that is the way of things.
