What we have here is a 1922 production No1 MkV rifle cut down as a trials prototype for the carbine development program. The No1 MkV was a trials gun itself from the early 1920s which basically gave a rear aperture sight to the classic MkIII SMLE. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific details on the testing or use of this particular example, but I think it is a fascinating example! Contact: Forgotten Weapons 6281 N.
