The British No. 5 Lee Enfield, has a somewhat similar action as found on the No.4 Enfield. However, it is shorter and has a different stock with a rubber buttstock pad and its barrel has a cone shaped conical flash eliminator. Unlike a No. 4 series Lee Enfield, the Jungle Carbine action has reductions in the heft of the receiver and bolt to lighten the weight of the carbine. A Jungle Carbine weighs approximately 7 pounds 1 once, in contrast a full size No. 4 Lee Enfield British rifle weighs approximately 8 pounds 11 onces. The Jungle Carbine was in production between 1944 and 1947 and used in numerous asian campaigns including Vietnam.
