No. 5 .303 Jungle Carbine

#1 Post by Swifty Boy »

Nice rifle, dated 1945 with matching numbers on receiver, bolt and magazine. Bright bore and it seems to shoot well. In good condition with sling.

£550 with RFD transfer at cost. I also have 100 x PPU brass cases for it, about 75 of which are brand new and will throw these in for the buyer if they're interested.

Hi, it's a Fazakerly rifle:

There are also "F" stamps on the left hand side of the front sight and on the magazine surround.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Ideally I would really like a BSA made No.5 However if this is still here when my variation comes through, I might have a tough time stopping myself from going for it...!
