Thread: 303 Mark II (A) Jungle Carbine question.

Skeet, if you have any questions or want to send photos im more than happy to have a look, the guys above have given you very good advice.

Bayonet lugs apply to MSSA rifle, and by definition a Mil Style Semi Auto which our beautiful Lee's are not.

There are Flash hider replacements that you can but to "restore" ones that have been butchered but be aware a lot from the states are made for the No4 and are a different barrel diameter, so if your going down that route just be aware. there are many nice restorable No5's out there and not a bad project, let me know if you do go down that route as I can so prevent you from making horrible cock ups like Ive made

Owwww you may also hear various stories of war time special jungle carbines used by snipers or the paratrooper version with the barrels shortened......... please don't fall for that crap! yes there were experimental stocks tried but trust me, your not going to find one (if you let me know though )

Another thing to look for is scalloped areas on the barrel near the receiver, that very normal and indicates she is the real McKoy, don't be shy to ask any potential seller to take the top woods off, its not that hard, as I have seen no4 barrels screwed in, so be careful. But Littledog nicely covered that off. if your lucky and you can read the side of the receiver you may notice really faint writing called electro stencilling, I personally look for 44 45 but they have a lot of history after those dates as well

they are a great rifle and I do not believe they deserve their wandering zero reputation, I have my on theory on that but.......

Enjoy, but be warned one lee is never enough

Crikey ive just read my own website, yep ive 3 No5's now!!!! see, one is never enough
