Already have an SKS and Mini 30, and will add my first Garand this spring.
But although "antiques", my heart is with both of my LE #5 "Jungle Carbines":
lightweight, smooth and powerful. The LE #4 is my second milsurp favorite "battle rifle".
CooperThunder: After watching that brief scene of Mick Dundee shooting at the thugs' cars, it reminded my of the AIA Jungle Carbine (7.62x39) which I had handled in the Saginaw, MI 'Gander Mountain' store last March. These combined impressions instantly reminded me of the authentic LE #5 in .303 which a buyer handled at a gun store several months previously, and showed me.
The LE appeal somehow dawned on me like a lightning bolt at the end of the movie scene.
No kidding about this-not one bit. My poor wife
can confirm it. And it partly cured the disease known as 'Mosinitis'.
Strange coincidences, or a psychosis?
