No.5 "jungle carbine" question

[nhetzer]

I felt pretty humbled that he decided to let it go. He told me that he ran ops with British commandos and that he has had this gun since those days. Whether that was post WWII or not I don't know. All I do know that he did time with the Brits and that it was easier to carry their weapons due to supply chains and shortage of US ammo. This gun, according to him, was a bring back from those days. I always believe in "buy the gun, not the story" and I am the biggest skeptic you'll ever meet when it comes "amazing stories" about guns. But this gentleman's story of his career added up and his son openly spoke about all of it as well.

In the end, if he and his son were running some sort of scam to sell me a gun that wasn't technically for sale then I guess I should give them credit or going to such great lengths. ; )

Some storys are too good to be true and still are. I think I would go with true. Folks that age have very little incentive to lie, in my experience.
