The Number 5 Jungle Carbine Book

This book covers the rifle that collectors have come to call the “Jungle Carbine” — the Lee Enfield Number 5 Mark 1. It focuses on the Mark 1 model and its variant parts, the never-issued Mark 2 version, the grenade-firing model, and contemporary competitors from Commonwealth countries. The book has a general history of the rifles, and a chapter on the problem of the “wandering zero.”
