Is this the one from Shooter Ready?

Nah mate, a good friend of mine is very talented.

Two orphans now that West Germany's Sig is bottom up.

I need to start an orphanage

Got this before our socialism trial, so been untouched for a few months.
1945 No5 Mk1 ROF LE Jungle Carbine.
I had to use some raw umber oil paint on the stock to get it the same colour as the rest, and one area that needs a touch just below the bolt, will do that one day... but otherwise came out ok.


And with the rest of the family...

I’m surprised how the jungle carbine is not a whole lot shorter than the No4.

The old man said the carbines had a mean kick compared to the No4. (Which after the M1 carbine was his weapon on choice in the jungle)

One for the 270 haters. Been working on this a while. Sako 75, vxl 4.5-14x50, precision platforms stock and mab barrel. Cant wait for load development

Nice looking stock.

@ebee @Solo

I would highly recommend getting a midwest hand guard for it - they are lighter, allow you to use Mlok attachments like QD points and allow you to use a standard bipod (if you try to use one on the standard hand guard it wobbles). I think it is also much nicer in the hand than the standard hand guard. 55six sells them though I think they are out of stock at the moment.

I also got rid of my iron sights as I run a VX6 1 -6 and at 1 power it is a both eyes open shooter. Ditching the irons allowed me to put the scope on with Steiner lightweight low rings and subsequently I think I will get away without using a cheek riser - you may find the same with your 1-8 Viper @Solo

I just need to get a QD drilled into the stock so I can use my magpul sling side on and I think I will get one of those Wild West Trigger Happy kits from Brownells now that the ITAR limit has been raised - they lower the trigger pull to a crisp 2.5lbs apparently.

My 3030 Dark below:

I guess i like the look of dark marlin both ways-and both with smallish scopes too. I have a stainless JM 30-30 with a 1-4 leupold and I like the look of that and my dark marlin 30-30 has basically the same scope(pig plex). I probably will get the midwest hand guard eventually. I have a couple of nice 1894s (.357 and .44mag) and couldn't imagine a scope on those. Your set up of the dark marlin with suppressor on is in my opinion about as sexy as it gets! does the midwest hand guard change the weight much?

@ebee

The Oceania suppressor does a really good job of suppressing it, it is a pleasure to shoot. It is a little lighter than the stock grip but I didn't weigh the difference. The rifle weighs 3.7kgs all up from memory with the suppressor and scope on it so not super light but certainly not a really heavy rifle.
