Lee Enfield Mark V No.1

I just made another milsurp purchase. This time it is a Lee Enfield Mark V No.1 ... otherwise known as the Jungle Carbine. I was inspired to get me one of these because I was pointed out to this model of Lee Enfield by a friend of mine at the San Jose gunshow. When I saw the Jungle Carbine, I knew that I had to have one of these.

I can now definitely see how collecting old milsurp and antique firearms can become something of an addiction.
