My daughters bought me a #5 jungle carbine for my birthday.It is beautiful! Ive always wanted one, but this one had the front sight protector cut off.otherwise its all original. I have been looking for that whole assembly which includes the flash hider,(cone) front sight and protectot. I believe  the unit is sweated on the barrell.Id like to replace mine but cant find one anywhere. Even numrich doesnt have one.Can anyone help? Thanks.

Its pinned on ..Numrich is where I got one before ..You might have to just keep looking with Numrich ...they usually get things back in from time to time ...Look with them and serch other sights if You find some ..I dont know of any others right of hand ...Some one else on the forum May be able to give You some other sights to look at .. Good Luck ..

I think Lawrance Ordnance in Australia also had some a while back, might be worth a try.
Yes the are pinned on and on very tight.

Have you tried "Springfield Sporters", or "Sarco"?
They frequently have a good selection of Enfield stuff.
