RE: Enfield Jungle rifle 308.cal ?
I bought one of the long versions of the .308 Enfields. I can't remember if they were designated as A-1 or 1-A but I believe they were produced in Ishapore India and some runs of these .308 Enfields were suspect for manufacturing integrity. Mine appears to shoot fine, but have never put anything through it but moderate factory loads.
I think the Jungle Carbines were just shorty versions of the reg Enfields and were obviously either converted to the .308 woth a barrel swap or were produced in the same Ishapore arsenal.
I think the Gibbs rifles come fully re-furbished in beautiful shape.
