Description:
OK; Back on the market at $2,500.00 [plus Weapons Branch, Dealer and transportation costs] for this Lee Enfield No 5 Mk I collection, which includes:
* Rifle Factory Ishapore Thorough Factory Repaired No 5 Mk I, with "Ishy Screw" and a new barrel, by the look of it. The wood furniture has some small dings commensurate with age and use but the metalwork is clear and sharp.

It has:
* Shiny bore and sharp rifling.
* A No 1 bolt-head fitted by my local Gunsmith, Rob B to head-space the breech as part of his check of the weapon for me.
* A micrometer rack rear sight calibrated from up close to 800 yards for steady shots, which, when folded forward, flips up a 300 yard [ the maximum 4" point blank range ] ghost ring rear sight, for fast acquisition of a target.
Notional Fair Market Price: $1,750.00 [ see previous SSAA sales at up to $1,950.00 ]
* A No 5 bayonet, in unused condition, with matching scabbard and frog.
