Title: Im shocked
Post by: Tudorp on May 13, 2015, 05:29:37 PM
That there isn't an Enfield section. About a year ago, I got hold of my most favorite of the Enfields. The Enfield No.5 Mk1 "Jungle Carbine".  It was even harder to get a hold of a Bayonet for these? This JC has green paint on it that I had originally planned to clean it of, but upon some research, found that this was a common practice during the Malayan Emergency. Many of these were painted with green enamel to help aid in corrosion control from the jungle environment. When I found that out, I wanted to keep it as it came out of service, crappy green enamel and all.  But without further adue, here is my Jungle Carbine with proper bayonet.

I like to always keep them in the condition as they left military service. I weep when I see historic milsurp guns get chopped into Bubba machines.
