Lee Enfield RARE No 1 MK 5 Trails Transition Rifle 1922 303 Brit Matched Numbers

VERY Hard to find MK 5 Rifle that was the bridge rifle between the #1 and #4 versions
- comes with orginal wood stock with the magazine cut-off..

RESERVE is set at $2500..

This unit is in excellant condition and is matched numbers - Bore is very good.
A great collector level Rifle..

No1 MkV Made in 1922 -
The Lee Enfield No1 MkV trials rifle, 1922-1924, was an interesting but ultimately
unsuccessful attempt to improve the No1 Mk3.
About 20,000 were made and sent out to troops for trials..

The improvements consisted of an extra band attached to the nosecap to strengthen
the front end, possibly to improve accuracy by stiffening the wood area, and also to
strengthen this area for bayonet fighting.

The sight axis was lengthened by moving the sight as far rearward as possible, and
an aperture type rear sight was created. It suffered by being vulnerable to damage
through too light construction, and the sight bar not remaining locked in the range
position during recoil..
