Customize a Jungle Carbine?

[kjeff50cal]

these Ishapore Enfield's, they have been rebarreled to .308, were inexpensive, and fairly accurate.

Those Ishapore Enfields (Lee Enfield 2A) are not rebarreled they are actually Indian built (ground up) with more modern steels to stand the pressure of the 7.62 X 51 Nato (yes you can shoot .308 in it, I have a 'sportsterized one I got for cheap but shoots well). The bottom gun looks tobe a Gibbs No. 7 "Jungle Carbine" a modified 2A by the Aussies for the U. S. market.

BTW the Brits did rebarrel some of their LEs but into a .308 sniper rifle heavily modified but they go for more like Garand prices .

more like "sniper" garand (M1C,M1D) prices, last L46 (No4 Mk2 with modded stock, adn converted to 7.62) i saw was over $6K then again it was all matching, still in the transport "footlocker" with all (full) contents of crate matching back to the rifle.

Before you invest in a bubba job

SOG will sell you a recent made bubba, from a real No. 5, fitted with a black sporter stock for $259.95. I wouldn't turn a perfectly good collectable rifle into a "sporter". The value of it will rise if you leave it alone... trust me on this.
