The India No5 is not one of the RFI rebuilds, more's the pity, but does carry an Indian Depot mark dated 1962.





Here's the Rockette Photo---

Thanks for the pictures Krinko, nice rifles as always.





That Fazakerly looks very neat. :D;





I have a RFI refurb, dark wood colouring the same as yours, all previous marks have been ground off so don't know its origins.





Its one hell of a shooter though and the one I always reach for when I want to shoot No5, I hope that they manage to get the CQB competition in this year.





350 rounds over two days and it never missed a beat. :D;





My Ishapore has the squared metal forend cap same as your Fazkerley.
