Semi Auto .303

[Bruce_in_Oz]

Somewhat more Lee Enfield related: how many Charletons are floating around in Kiwiland?

I wonder what happened to the one that was in WO2 Jock Annandales little store/stash at the REME workshop at Ngaruawahia

I think almost all of them were destroyed in a fire post-war. the is one in Waiouru and ive seen a replica for sale online. I hope Jocks one slipped out the back door one friday afternoon and is quietly resting in someones safe.

Is it just me , but I WANT ONE OF THE Globco Mohawk 555 303 SA rifles.

[Peter Laidler]

To be really honest........... If I wanted a good reliable .303" semi auto rifle, I'd just opt for a Bren and keep the change lever set to 'R'. I'd lighten it up by taking the bipod off and there you have it, the best compromise

[newcastle]

Aaah but I can't have one of those. I live in the Communist Republik of Kalifornia and we are limited to 10 round fixed magazines. Plus an SA Bren here costs alot . If I had $4k UI'd try to get an L96 instead of a neutered bren gun. They do look fab though.

Hi guys,

First off, sorry to revive such an old thread, but I seen there were some reasonably recent reply's and some interested party's in a Globe Model 555 .303

I happened to acquire on recently, and it appears that it may have never been fired! It is in immaculate condition, barring some very minor scuff on the barrel, and the (chromed?) bolt/action. The bluing on it is mostly very rich/blue still, and the stock is the better one with rosewood accents. I took it out yesterday and fired 4 rounds through it, and it functioned perfectly! It also have very low recoil, for a .303!

If anyone here is interested in this rifle, LMK, as I may be convinced to part with it.... initially I was thinking of keeping it, as I have never seen a semi-automatic .303 british, and just purchased 60 rounds ammo, and dies to reload.

Like I said, the condition is awesome! Please reach me by email if you want pictures, and would like to discuss this rifle further!

However, I'm thinking BREN mags might be the best option.

That would be very cool, specially if it ran auto like the one Stevo spoke of...just for chuckles...
