Nope. The front swivel on a No5 should be under the barrel, not on the side.

When did thay stop making the No. 5 rifle. The sling swivel looks like it was made that way, and not one that was modified. Is it possible that thay used a different swivel near the end of the production run, Im guessing thay dident make them much longer after this one.

nope - it's off a Mauser or something. NOT original.

The Jungle carbine was declared obsolete in July of 1947, and production was supposed to cease on 25 September of 1947. A few could be found with dates as late as December of 47.
Unless you are a Southpaw, I don't know why you would want a sling swivel on the right side of a gun. It would be a bugger on a long march as it would want to flip backwards if slung over the right shoulder, and you would have the bolt/rear sights stuck into your butt.

I wonder why someone would put a different sling swivel on this rifle? Is the on the No 5 swivel the same as the No4? Is this a real No5 rifle? Thanks for the help.

I would need to see closeups of the receiver and barrel shank to tell you if its real or not.
