Item has been relisted, you can find the new listing at: http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/fs-ft-no-5-mki-einfield-jungle-carbine-303.944188/
Item Name: FS/FT No.5 MkI Einfield Jungle Carbine .303
Location: Norcross, Johns Creek
Zip Code: 30092
Item is for: Sale or Trade
Sale Price: $565 firm
Trade Value or Items Looking For: Quality firearm trades that include cash. See description.
Caliber: .303
Willing to Ship: No
Bill of Sale Required?: No
Item Description: Developed near the end of WWII to provide British and colonial troops with a shorter (18.7” Bbl/39.5” Overall) and much lighter (7.15 lbs) version of the Enfield No 4 Mk1. Many of the parts, including the magazine, are interchangeable with the No 4.
In order to accomplish this, both the barrel and wood were shortened. “Excess” steel and wood were removed wherever possible, even hollowing of the bolt handle knob.
Manufactured in Great Britain 1944-1947, the Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF) and Birmingham Small Arms (BSA/M47C) factories combined to make approximately 250,000 rifles (81,000 BSA and 170,000 ROF). The survival rate for these historic rifles is very minimal since many saw service in climates and corners of the globe that were not conducive to their longevity.
The No 5 will bear the factory markings of the manufacturer and production month/year on the left side of the receiver and/or the steel wrist socket of the stock.
Authentic Enfield No. 5 MK1 .303 British caliber "Jungle Carbines". Manufactured by the British in 1944-47, these Rare Carbines saw service in multiple important conflicts in Military History.
We understand that this small number (less than 50 in this lot)of surviving Jungle Carbines saw service during the 13 year Malayan Emergency where Brit, Australian and Colony forces rooted out the Malayan Communist Party in South Asia.
Rifle is in good condition, however there is movement in the top handguard. Obviously this could be easily fixed with strip of foam/cork etc underneath handguard, or replaced for less than $20.
Trade interests include:
CZ 2075BD Rami (decocker model)
CZ 455
Other CZ bolt actions would be considered
Ruger 10/22 stainless w/ mannlicher stock.
S&W Shield 9mm
Finnish Mosin Nagants
S&W K22, K38, 27, 28, etc. (Pre Lock, in good to excellent condition.) I will also consider modern S&W in .32 SW long (is model 30 etc).
Other Quality Firearms, No .40 Cal
Trade Value $580 firm
PM any questions, offers, etc.
FtF in Johns Creek, Norcross area, unless we work out something else in PM.
