Prototype .22 No5 Rifle.

Er............I meant the hybrid No4/No5 RIFLE body used!!!!! Sorry, breakdown in communication

Whoops! Yes, see what you mean now. Yes, no cut-off block a la No5 & no lightening cuts at the rear of the body a la No4.
They went to an awful lot of trouble to incorporate that worm-wheel dovetail arrangement for the target sight.........

I have just bumped into an article at http://www.rifleman.org.uk/Enfield Rifle No.6.html which shows this rifle as part of the "No6" rifle story. It's well worth a read.
