    No5 Jungle Carbine

    Could this No5 be a fake that was converted from something else??? All the serials match but its missing the "o" from "ROF(f)". Also can someone tell me what date this firearm was made? I have very little knowledge about Lee's. The last two numbers of the serial were very professionally eddited out Thanks in advance guys


    Here are the links to the pics in case they dont show up

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Those photos are no help to identify if it is genuine or fake, Do a search here (NO 5 Lightening Cuts) and check that it has the correct lightening cuts that is the only way to be sure. Does have a beautiful wood set.

    Looks OK to me is the rear sight graduated to 800 yards?
    Date of manufacture is January 1946

    It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it, depends if someone wants one or not. With a D serial number should be February 1944.

    Faz made them in 43 and 44 although Skennertonicon agrees some were made after but no dates other than the 43 and 44 in his book, he does intimate that later ones were AF, but with all things Lee Enfield never say never.

    Check on here for the lightening cuts to look for and that will tell you if genuine or not again as for value so many factors quality of barrel all matching parts etc.
