Here we examine the No 5 Lee-Enfield and compare it with the No 4.
Errata - In the colour photo at 06:19 the caption should read "during the Indonesian Confrontation".... the Militiamen are not Indonesians, but rather members of the Sarawak Border Scouts.

I'd be willing to bet that the No. 5's reputation for heavy recoil comes from people that have significantly less trigger time on a Martini Henry.
Gun Jesus (Ian from Forgotten Weapons) recommended this video today to learn more about the No. 5 after his brief showing of some examples today. I wasn't disappointed. You have a great thing going here. I believe I'll be setting up camp just over here somewhere, thanks!
In the voice of Christopher Lee: I've been looking forward to this.
How dare you point your rifle at yourself even thought you weren't actually where you weren't when you did or didn't do it.
My first deer rifle when I was 14. (1958) Dropped a nice buck at 150 yards in the Michigan woods. Bought the rifle at Kmart in Michigan with 3 boxes of old surplus ammo for the total price of $15.00 US. Still have that carbine and bayonet in my collection.
This channel lets me vicariously live out my "boy playing soldier in backyard" childhood memories in style.
The look after the wandering zero joke was great
I owned a No.5 in my late teens, bought when it was "just another Enfield." That was the late 1980's. It cost me about $150 then and in it's surprisingly good condition would go for several times than today. I most foolishly sold it to finance another long forgotten project.
I had the opportunity to shoot a friend’s No.5 when I was a teenager (a long time ago). Being a typical Boomer Canadian, we all learned to shoot on our Dad’s or older brother’s No.4s that pretty well every Canadian home had. I don’t know if it was my imagination, but it felt like the recoil from the No.5 was way greater. We were shooting at broken down cardboard boxes at my friend’s farm and was hardly subject to the scientific method, so the validity of our experimentation would be suspect. We were using WW2 and Korean War surplus ammo which in the 1970s was still plentiful and cheap. I found that I was way less accurate with the No.5, but it might have just been me. Too bad kids today will never experience these sort of things that we did in my youth. It sure was fun.
"We never had anything approaching top of the line kit! Why this rifle, hat, and these boots were issued to my dad in the trenches during the first go-around!"
I'm glad that my country use the Jungle Carbine.
“What you? A wandering hero? More like a wandering zero”
That zero joke got me. Incredible.
Field Marshal Slim: Mr. Prime Minister, what tools are you giving me to take back Burma?
Ahh, the No. 4 , I miss mine, it was the very first rifle I ever owned. I bought one for $75 at a gun shop in 1994. I wish I had never gotten rid of it.
That intro/cold opening had the best round about the long way joke and punch line I've ever heard
During the golden years of the 90s, when surplus rifles could be had for dirt cheap, I picked up a No 5, Mk 1 from a local department store, for $60. Surplus .303 British was still pretty available, and it was such a fun gun to shoot. One of the few I've regretted selling, over the years.
Half expecting Battery Sergeant Major Williams to show up and give you the benefit of his " hexperience", lovely boy.
This guy's intro will never dissapoints.. If he make a series, i'm sure i'll watch it
I bought my first No5 in 1965. I still have one. Thank you for an excellent presentation
