Enfield No. 5 Jungle Rifle

heavyiron
One of these is for sale. The link is:

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=22896627

I have one of these now that I shoot all the time and love it, but it does not have a blued finish as this ad states. The metal on my rifle is painted black. All the other No. 5's I have encountered are also finished black.

Does anybody know if these rifles also came with a blued finish? I don't want to buy a refinished rifle.

Thanks for any info.

    There is a couple of SMLE forums on Gunboards, that would more likely be able to answer your question.

    rufe-snow,

    Thank you for the info.

    I wasn't aware of that gunboard and I have registered and posted over there as well.

    Regards,

    No No.5 Jungle Carbines were ever blued. All were painted black lacquer, Brits figgured the jungle would just rust the blue out pronto.
