5/11/22 – This is a minty ROF (Fazakerley) No 5 Mk 1 Jungle Carbine issued to the British military in October of 1944. The Lee-Enfield No.5 Mk 1 gained its nickname, “Jungle Carbine,” from British troops who used the weapon in the Pacific Theater, but the name was never officially used by the military. The Jungle Carbine is a lighter, shorter variation of the No. 4 Mk I and was designed for use by British airborne forces. It is easily identifiable by the prominent flash hider that was designed to compensate for the increased flash that came with the shorter barrel. The rifle was only produced from 1944-1947 as it was ultimately seen as a flawed gun because it had a large recoil due to the short barrel and soldiers complained it had a “wandering zero.” Only about 250,000 of these rifles were produced. This one is all matching and in minty condition. There are some light handling marks along the barrel, some tiny dings on the bolt handle, and light scratchy wear on the left side of the receiver. Minty bore.
