There is a great deal of history on the development of the No5 rifle which I could expand upon if members are interested but for now I'll let the FAQ sticky suffice. I have created a FAQ sticky at the Enfields forum and will re-post it here for the benefit of those curious. I am presenting my own rifle here which as by the text attached to the images you will recognise as a Fazakerley built No5 from the 12 month, year of 1945.

The No5 Mk1 was specifically developed for fighting in the far east and Burma campaign was where this rifle found it's major point of issuance. Both my Grandfather and Great Uncles fought in the Burma Campaign during WW2 my Grandfather was with the Royal Sussex Regiment ( The Shiny 9th ) and my Great Uncle who is in his 90's fought with the Chindits under Maj Gen Ord Wingate. As the moderator of the Lee Enfield forums at Collecting and Shooting the Military Surplus Rifle (2006) - I thought I might add some Enfield content to this section hopefully it will meet with interest.
