The Rifle No. 5 Mk I was a derivative of the British Lee–Enfield No. 4 Mk I, designed in response to a requirement for a shorter, lighter, rifle for airborne forces in Europe.
Although used by airborne troops in ETO in the latter stages of WW2 these have become known in collector circles as the ‘Jungle Carbine’ as most of its operational use was in post-war colonial campaigns such as the Malayan emergency which is where it gained its common nickname of the “Jungle Carbine” & was popular with troops because of its light weight (compared to the SMLE & Lee–Enfield No. 4 Mk I rifles then in service) & general ease of use.
This rifle is in excellent overall condition as the photos show however we don't believe the bolt is matching but the magazine does!
According to records, this was manufactured by Fazakerley in 1945, making this among the last wartime manufactured No. 5's.
These don’t come along very often in this condition & would make a fine addition to your Enfield collection or the the start of one, beginning with one of the rarest.
We are expecting this very early next year but are hoping to see it before the fat guy come around.
Please view all of the photos carefully as they form the main description & override all others but are the only ones we have until it arrives.
