HISTORY: The ShtLE Mk V is a continuation of the British SMLE rifles, they took notes from the P14 & added a receiver mounted aperture rear sight. 20,000 were made from 1922 to 1924. it was tested by various civilian and military marksmen who thought the rear sight was too fragile/ difficult to adjust, & that the barrel was too light. These would be corrected & with other slight adjustments, the No.4 SMLE was made. Many of the rifles would be sent to British colonies & the rest were put in storage, where they were Re-issued to home guards after Dunkirk in WW2. not many of these rifles are known to survived. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 500 to 1000
