My favorite gun store got in a new shipment of Milsurps last week. I got a post War M39 Mosin. I have one but the Finn's are just sweet rifles and this one was in great condition......
I have a .30 Carbine, three Mosins now and a two K-31's. But.......I was looking at a Lee Enfield Jungle Carbine. I don't own a Lee Enfield. It wasn't in great shape and it was $150 more than the M39 but I really liked it. It's got to be the coolest looking bolt-action rifle of the era and it fits me nice. The price of .303 ammo is rediculous. I reload the .30, 7.62x54 and 7.5x55 so I'd have to add .303 to the mix....
Do any of you own a Jungle Carbine? THey say they kick hard but to me as long as you hold onto a rifle and seat it firm in your shoulder.....the only recoil that's ever bothered me is 1 oz. slugs from 16 ga 870.
I enjoy shooting my Milsurps. Are the Jungle Carbines fun to shoot? Pretty accurate? I read their Story in one of my rifle books.....sounds like they may have gotten a bum rap but the "lightening cuts" on the receiver give me concern. Are they tough? Reliable?
