No. 5 "Jungle" carbine

You're right there Al. You'll always see real Armourers squeeze the trigger when they close the bolts so that the cocking piece isn't subject to dry firing

Very nice #5, the screws are even in great shape! Maybe not even turned?

Almost the first thing that I learned on a CCF Cadet Armourers' course - some years ago. I remember always making sure to do - mostly because it looks flash.

yep sure looks like a nice no1, does it still have the mag cut off as i cant see it in the pic.
And is the trigger gaurd the original as from most no1s ive seen they have a loop and ring to hold the magazine with the rifle so you cant take the mag off. Does it have volley sights aswell cant see from the pic side.

heres a pic or two of my jungle carbine which is still in the progress of a rebuild, just needs the barrell and the rear sights rebuilt. Never mind the barrell which is on it at the moment its a heavy no111 lightly screwed in for show.
