What would you get
Re: What would you get
Jungle Carbine, BUT make sure it's a real one.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Most definitely the Jungle carbine !! But I second the statement that you need to make sure that it is legit.

Re: What would you get
Sks' are very high here also. Very rarely under 475 and mostly over 500. Makes no matter what condition either. And most are in screwed up stocks.

Re: What would you get
There is no contest. Of the three, the Enfield Jungle 5, if it is legit, is far and away the top. I have all three of what's on your list and you couldn't buy it for under $600.00. Jungle 5's are, of the three, the most faked rifles. Almost as bad as Mosin "snipers"

Re: What would you get
Is the French MAS the bolt action rifle or semi auto? Do you know the things to look for on the Jungle Carbine to make sure it isn't a converted No 4?
Re: What would you get
The jungle carbine is the best value at 300. I was just at the gun shop 3 hrs ago and looked at an sks for a long time before buying it for 280.00. I would have had to pinch myself if I was looking at a jungle carbine for 300. Who really likes the French anyway.

Re: What would you get
The bolt action I believe it is a 36/51? Has the grenade launcher stock pad and something at the end of the barrel that can be adjusted. I honestly know nothing about it other than it is in great shape and looks cool with the metal looking baffle on the forend. I also understand the ammo is pricey. I know the no 5 I looked at has no 5 stamped on the side and the flash suppressor on the end, other than that how can I tell if its fake?bunkysdad wrote:Is the French MAS the bolt action rifle or semi auto?

Re: What would you get
If it was the grenade launcher mas 36 then that would have been a tough choice. I would likely go for the mas if in good condition with all the attachements there. AND I LOVE THE FRENCH rifles

Re: What would you get
The No5, just make sure you know how to tell a real one from a fake first.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: What would you get
If I can buy it so can you 
Is the same as swiss ammo and better then 8mm lebel and jap ammo. Is very available here anyway. Reloads with a .308 bullet.

Re: What would you get
All kidding about the French aside, the biggest factor here may be condition. Are they all in good condition. A canoe paddle jungle may not be worth what a really nice Russian sks is worth. Also which one do you like the best.
