Well, I found another "No 5" on an auction site and I am thinking about bidding on it. There are some things I am concerned about. There is a screw on the left side of the stock just ahead of the receiver that I am not seeing in pictures of other No. 5 carbines. The receiver "scallop" next to the safety doesn't have the same radius look I have seen in other photos also. I don't have access to the rifle so I can't check for the lightening scallops on the barrel next to the receiver. The import mark identifies it as a No. 5. I noticed the end of the lower fore stock has a black end cap and I have seen pictures where they don't have one. Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
