I have finally finished the process of refinishing my No.5 Mk 1 and pictures just don’t do the finish justice. Tried to give a couple angles to showcase the sheen and gorgeous grain. And before they say I hurt the value, I really don’t care. IMO this lil guy is the best Lee Enfield out there, a true joy to shoot and scoot around with in the bush.

What’s a good price for a Lee enfield today? Never owned one but now I’m intrigued.

I paid $900 last year for this bad boy and they threw in an OG cleaning kit with it. Don’t think it came with the rifle, but it’s for the rifle. I feel I got a good deal, though I will admit the bolt is not matched to the rifle. It’s a No. 4 bolt, no lightening cut in the handle. Rest of the rifle is legit though.

It’s a 1947 Fazakerley. Had old flecks of green and black paint embedded in the grain of the rifle, which led me to believe this may have been used in Malaya or Rhodesia.

Why would you destroy original service paint thats wild

Wasn’t much left to destroy, just subtle remnants. And I left one Easter egg preserved for the keen eye. And because it’s my rifle, with no plans of rehoming it.
