With the wind up rear sight on the No.4 which is still. Lots of "converted" Ishapore No.4 to a "No.5" but IMHO these should be avoided as being downright dangerous with poor workmanship. I also have a bayonet for it, which resembles the SLR bayonet, the main difference being the enlarged muzzle ring to fit the flash eliminator, and genuine ones are as scarce as rocking horse droppings. Up to 100yds it's beaut and on the range from that distance have shot many possibles with it but after 100yds it's got the beaten zone of a Vickers.
Carcano serial number lookup full#
It's supposed to have a boot and a half to it too but i haven't found that and am using full strength military fmj rounds and loads. Looks great shooting it just on dusk but another slow bolt action and accurate up to 200 ydsĬlick to expand.The jungle carbine has always been a favourite of mine too ever since a bloke up the road from me had one when I was only a kid. The M44 has the kick of 3 horses and a spectacular flame from the muzzle because it uses the same powder load as the Moison Nagant 1891/30 long rifle. All except the Carcanos and the 1896 Mauser have bayonets and slings and are operational, but the Carcano and Arisaka ammo is extremely difficult to obtain. I also own a 1918,1923 with mag cutoff and oval striker head, 1942, 1943 SMLE 1 Mk111* 1 Savage made SMLE No.4 1942 No.4 1941, No.4 with heavy barrel ex sniper rifle made 1944 1 No.5 "Jungle Carbine" Fazakerly 1945 Mauser Model 1896 that saw service in the Boer War according to its serial number but its bore is badly worn and is non operational Mauser K98k 1937 built with matching bayonet and cleaning kit Moisin Nagant M44 carbine7.62x54 1945 built Arisaka Type 38 6.5mm with chrysanthemum and dust cover intact, built 1938. Reasonably accurate up to 200 yds but after that the light bullet is very susceptible to winds, temp and barometric pressure variations. The clip's held in place by a spring set into the rifle on thetrigger side of the clip and after the 6 rounds are fired the clip falls out the slot in the base of the maggy and the action stays open until reloaded. Interesting bullet feed arrangement similar to the Austrian Steyr in that you have a clip of 6 rounds which slide into a magazine with a slot at the bottom.
