December of 1947 was the last month of production of the Lee Enfield No 5 rifle - the paratroop rifle.
Since it was the first month of my production, I always wanted one from that month. I've never seen one, so I had a chance to get an August. 47 one in very nice shape so I jumped on it.
It had the same owner since it was initially purchased as surplus, and it may have never been fired. It only cost me 30 X what they were selling for back in the sixties, when I first lusted over one.
Very nice butt stock, envious; better than mine
If one is very patient, there are many nice rifles out there.
It seems some of the real nice one's stayed that way because a lack of small parts or lack of need to shoot
them.
It is worth taking the chance to purchase one's that lack some parts . It may take a long time but
sometimes they show up! Then the gun is complete

I would love to see detailed pics of the K98. Possibly in a new thread?
