The best "Jungle Carbine" we have ever offered and this one is an authentic World War II beauty with no import marks. 18" barrel has a very good bore and the bell-shaped flash-suppressor. Parkerized finish is 95%++ and wonderful. Stock is excellent and matches in serial to frame. Short and light for "jungle" use. Flip-up micrometer rear sights. Good tight action.
