    1903A3 Jungle Carbine

    I was wandering around the Internet looking for an SKS to buy and ran across this odd listing 1903A3 Jungle Carbine, you just gotta ask yourself why sometimes.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Junk, but maybe a few uninformed buyers out there.

    It would be interesting to shoot. I have a M38 Turkishicon carbine, M38 Mosin, and M44 Mosin and they kick like a mule. That would probably require a chiropractor after the first shot or man up and shoot it again to put your shoulder back in place. If I had the money I'd get one. It would look good next to the 1903 Mark 1 and the 1903A3.

    30-06 out of that short barrel... Where is my limb saver and padded shooting jacket...

    Interesting the on-going myth about recoil and carbines.

    I’m looking at a Columbian M24 Mauser in 30-06. Shooooort. That should be pretty much like this one. And kick the same. Will look at it next week end

    Ain't no myth. Have you shot a "Jungle" carbine?

    Yep, shot that. Interesting that commercial carbines - same weight, same barrel length, same ammunition - don't have any comments about recoil, muzzle flash, etc...

    So, you're saying physics only works if you believe in it?

    Frankenrifle

    Looks like someone, lacking in knowledge, mated a blast deflector off a Lee-Enfield Rifle No.V Mk.1 with a chopped M1903A3. The aforementioned Britishicon "Jungle Carbine" is actually a short barreled rifle, which saw use mostly with British Commandos in Norwayicon...."Jungle"? Yeah, right. A shame to do that to an M1903A3...Probably an aftermarket blast deflector. Seen them for sale on line. Recoil? I'm not chopping a .30-06 to see what that feels like, but my No. V Mk1 came stock in 1944 with a 3/4 inch vulcanized rubber recoil pad....Because you NEEDED it! But this Frankenrifle was assembled by some individual trying to pretend that it's something it isn't....Some peoples' kids....
