No pic yet - have a Jungle Carbine Enfield with the following markings:
On the band between the buttstock and forestock, I have 3 lions, it looks like, on a pedistal - one looking straight ahead, one to the left and the other to the right.
Below the lions:
RIFLE
7.62mm2A1
R.F.I.
1965
The receiver is marked C31XX on the top right side forward of the bolt at about the chamber area.
It is in great condition - nearly perfect stock, perfect box magazine, 95% metal finish except for a bolt with matching number and turned down handle in the white.
It was sold to me as an "Ishapore No I Mk III 2A Jungle Carbine."
Any idea what it is - Armory rifle or a commercial rebuild - and if $200.00 was a fair price as long as it shoots well?
TIA
