4.0 out of 5 stars
Covers distinguishing characteristics of this scarce model., November 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Number 5 Jungle Carbine (British Firearms) (Paperback)
The Number 5 Jungle Carbine describes the distinguishing characteristics of this model of the SMLE British Enfield Rifle. Original copies of these rifles, based on the Number 4 Mark 1 rifle action, are relatively scarce but many companies are offering replicas made from common full size Number 4 Mark 1 Enfield Rifles. This book provides information to spot a replica or to restore an original to its "as issued configuration". The development history, differences during production and production numbers of the two manufacturers are provided. The "wandering zero" problem is briefly discussed as are comtemporary competitors made on the No. 1 Mark III rifle action.

The #5 303 BRIT, February 27, 2008
This review is from: The Number 5 Jungle Carbine (British Firearms) (Paperback)
The book is small ( pamphlet size ) has good but little info and photos. for example the grenade launcher section is very scarce. even though there are short comings this is a must have reference for 303 BRIT collectors
