Excellent video. I was one who waited, and am glad I did! I found, and bought a 12/47 Farzakerley, in unissued condition, one of the last made. It has the metal cap at the forend. Truly a fascinating chapter in the Lee Enfield story.
Great video, very helpful verifying the the No.5Mk1 im selling for a customer of mine. Only trouble im running into is the side of the reciever appears to have been scrubbed on this one (could be heavily worn but wouldnt be consistent with a high wear area) without the black finish and it does have markings on the rear and no reinforcing screw, so im going with clearly not from india, however still interesting.
Very interesting. I suppose there is a few places it could have ended up where it was scrubbed, Pakistan? . I wouldn't rule out India but you have sound reasoning for doing so. That's the fun thing with Enfields, they are hard to deal in absolutes!
Very informative, thank you. I was at a LGS and saw one with a funny stamping on the right side of the butt stock. Cannot decipher what it is. Looks like TM or 7 M, in a circle. Or maybe it is some letters in another language belonging to a country where it was used, maybe. Not sure if it’s stamped or carved as it’s very gritty. Date is 1945, month not clear. Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

That’s awesome mate, what a great find. The metal nose cap looks way better I think. Great rifles, enjoy it’
Thanks for the Info 👍
Bought one yesterday 😊
Production 07/47
Greetings from Bavaria
Congratulations! Bavaria looks like an amazing place. Thank you for watching!
Super helpful video! Thanks so much for posting. The history of the Jungle Carbine is so interesting
Thanks for the comment, I really agree. I enjoy all of the Lee Enfield series but i've always found the JC the most interesting
Love my jungle carbine very handy in the bush 😀
Very! Definitely one of the more practical military rifles for hunting

Great video, but you missed the trigger guard cuts, they had a few millimetres cut off each side, plus scallops taken out near the front screw hole.
Both true but also seen on some No4's
@@servicerifleshooter agreed, I think when production ceased of the no 5, the interchangeable parts were used on the no 4 rifles.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. The No5's saw use with India as well as in Africa (Ethiopia ) , so potentially one of those.
Very informative video, thank you!!
Thanks for watching mate, glad you got something out of it
Awesome video mate.
Thanks mate! Enjoying your channel as well!
@@servicerifleshooter thanks mate!
Мечта. У нас невозможно купить Lee Enfild. Их нет в магазинах. Отличное оружие для коллекции и охоты
@@ВладимирБобров-м9ю Thanks for the comment, the 303 british family of rifles are some of my favourites to shoot in general
Любое современное оружие для охоты можно купить. А вот старое, это проблема и стоит оно дорого.
