That's a nice one. As stated earlier, wartime production (Fazackerley) with wartime stock. Offhand, I'd say the stock has had a light sanding at some point in its life.
I've had quite a few No 5's, and have always heard about the infamous 'wandering zero', however every example I shot had excellent accuracy...I tend to go along with the claims that the British Army wanted to get the L1A1 in their soldiers hands quickly, and that the WZ was simply the excuse to make it happen.
