Serial number P2221, an Enfield No. 5 Mk 1 made at Royal Ordnance Factory Fazakerley, and a sporterized finish: those are the details of this used rifle. It is chambered in .303 British, has an 18.5 inch barrel and a blued finish, with no case.
The No. 5 is widely known as the Jungle Carbine. It is a shorter, lighter variant of the No. 4 Lee-Enfield, made for troops in thick country. The flash hider and the rubber butt pad are well known features, though a sporterized rifle may have lost some of them.
Because it has been sporterized, this is a rifle for shooting more than for display. The short barrel makes it a handy woods gun, though the .303 kicks and barks more than a longer rifle would. Wear ear protection and a good pad.
The Lee-Enfield bolt is fast and reliable, which suits a carbine used at close quarters. Look over the sights and the bore and note any changes from the original.
It is sold as described. It ships to a licensed dealer you choose, and the background check takes place there.
