I remember seeing 303 Jungle carbines listed from a surplus store in the back of one of dad's monthly farming mags. Probably about 1978-ish. They were new and $26 each.... They also listed WW2 Brit army packages with gas mask, helmet etc all included. Also ex-Vietnam war US Army Alice-packs. They cost $22 and I was trying to save for one by possum trapping on the farm. Never saved enough for it......
