I was offered a No5 Mk1 it has some issues a previous owner sanded the stock, not to heavily thank heaven, and removed the blue (I guess he wanted a shiney
gun) but the price was only $300 OTD. I cleaned the metal with lighter fluid and applied some cold blue so it now looks dignified.

Yes, congratulations for sure. How good does the lighter fluid work as a cleaning agent?

SW28fan, Sometimes, as with one of my No.5s, just a good cleaning with acetone and a twill jean cloth will remove much of the original paint and even lightly
applied stenciling!

I got it to the range today and shot 95/100 1x ring prone, I think it is a keeper.

Great "catch"! Looks like there is some nice grain in that butt stock.

Bert Barrel, I know that there is a nice picture in the "Military Firearms" encyclopedia under the British section. I have a complete original #5
dated 1946 and saw the pic when I looked it up.
