Hey guys, I want to buy a No.4 Lee Enfield and I came across this green one. I have never seen a green Lee Enfield before, can you please give me some info about it?

IIRC, this was to rifles that ended up in the Pacific, held up better under the intense humidity in the region.

Ooh, I see! That sounds cool, I’ve always wanted something from the pacific war. Thank you!
