Do Tell !
The number 5 "Jungle Carbine" was a WW2 rifle. They had a lot of problems with a "wandering" zero and were never able to adequately fix it. Production was eventually stopped.

The number 1 rifle served well into WW2 before sufficient supplies of the number 4 rifle were available to replace it. The flat cocking piece on the subject rifle indicates either an early rifle that was updated or later production. Early #1 rifles have a round knob at the back of the cocking piece.

I once had a 1939 BSA #1 rifle that was the best cast bullet Enfield rifle I ever owned. It was super accurate.
