My new 1944 mk5 jungle carbine

[UK Cousin]

Went to the gun/militaria show to look for armbands and came back with a 1944 mk5 enfield jungle carbine..

Very nice!
I like these a lot even though they seem to kick like a mule. Your numbers are not that far off of my own example.
I just recently picked up a couple of spare magazines for mine.

This is my favorite scout type rifle. plus it just looks badass. It gets attention.
Repro Bayos are available and finish the look. I am looking for an original.

I reload my brass for this. full factory loads do kick. If you try to fire all tend rounds as fast as possible can be quite the brutal experience.

Its just a really fun gun.

Here is my bayonet.

Im going to find out for sure. I'll hit the range sometime this week. Nice dark grooves in the barrel just begging to be fired.

very nice, i just traded mine for a BSA mkIII since it had a replacement flash hider and it was a 1946, but hopefully this fall ill pick up another war period one.

A nice Fazakerley made piece (I think most of these were from ROF Fazakerley and a lesser number from BSA in Shirley, Birmingham). The rubber butt piece was supposed to lessen the recoil force to the shooter but most people seem to think it doesn't.

I learned to shoot with a range of Enfields when I was just 14 yrs and I still love them all !!

Let us know how yours performs on the range.
