got the jungle carbine and French MAS today..pic heavy

Post by cjo1971 »

So the Enfield no 5 is all matching including the stock and magazine and the bore is great, shinny with good rifling. It has all the characteristics of a "real" jungle carbine. The rifle is very light. The French MAS is in awesome condition, it is a heavy rifle but feels well built. the grenade launcher is very cool as well. I like the stamp on the MAS sling which came with the rifle. I paid 299.99 for each. How did I do?

:thumbsup: I can't believe you got that jungle for 299. The French is really nice looking.

Nice, :thumbsup: The Mas looks straight out of the refurb shop and it included the recoil pad for grenade launching.
