Better clean it well using that surplus Pakistani ammo! Wish I knew where to get some.

thats the jungle carbine right?

Yes it's not a lot of kick for ten rounds but I can see why troops despised the rifle as the recoil from firing it all day would kill.

i have a aussie 1907 bayonet...ill never sell it but outta curiosity what would it be worth

The so called "wandering zero" doesn't exist, it was an excuse to abandon the No. 5 because the Army would have preferred a semi-automatic carbine akin to the Garand or the Simonov. However, even if the fault exists I'm definitely going to get myself a No. 5 eventually.

@idgewe Its bullshit

[idgewe]

im sure youve been asked this question hundreds of times but here goes anyway , how much truth is there in the wandering zero theory ?

@snipersup they only made around 250,000 total between both factories.that would make them on the rare side.prices range from 375-600 for a real number 5 in good shape.theres a lot of fakes running around and the sad part of that is theres folks who rip people off trying to pass off number 4s as a real mccoy number 5.there was 160,000 at one faqctory and i think 60,000 at the other one.they were made for a cpl years.the rarest of british rfles..

I live in Canada and Jungle Carbines usually go for between $3-500, and Canadian firearms are always more expensive than what you guys have down there.. I wouldn't exactly call them rare.

Cheers!
