since you made a list;
Martini-Henry 577-450 artillery carbine, and two cav carbines
Martini Enfield Carbine, also two
Lee Metford Carbine
Lee Enfield carbine (two) (one still has the sling ring)
N.Z. carbine, (two, one from each production run
R.I.C. carbines One metford conversion and one L.E.
Of course the EVUL spanish destroyer
Noisey maggots. one standard and one in 7.62x39
One Lee Enfield private purchase carbine.
One citadel Martini .303 carbine with morris tube.
By the way, the no5 is not a carbine, it is "the rifle no5Mk1" Jungle carbine is a term that the surplus dealers came up with.
 
Nice collection John. I had most of them at one time, but I sold them in a group of 35 or more to Joe Salter, back about 10 or 15 years ago. My interest changed and I went in another direction mostly Mausers.

FN made a Mod 1924 with a 15.25" barrel. I have a Mexican model in 7X57. When you subtract the length of the round from the 15.25" barrel there is quite a blast when you touch it off. I have a Brazilian 1922 carbine and when I took it to the range and shot the first round the target disappeared for a millisecond. Fired it again and with the same result. My friend was laughing he told me he would fire the next one and I should watch. There was a ball of fire about two or two and a half feet long, the ammo would have worked better in a long rifle barrel.
 
How about this little gem?
It's a #4, MK2, which I think was probably sportserized in England. I think this because the top of the barrel is stamped, "SUSSEX."
Fifteen years ago there were several of these at a gun show and the word was they had been used by the Toronto police, but I have been unable to confirm it.
The barrel is about 19½ inches and it has a Lyman peep sight. I also have a five shot mag for it.

A shame you abandonded the Enfields and went over to the "Dark Side"
One thing I noted about Joe Salter, is he will never be "oversold".;)
 
Well, very interesting gents. I am interested in 2 carbines if anyone wants to pass me a PM, an M95M Austrian Mannlicher Stuzen/Carbine Yugoslavian refurb into 7.92X57mm Mauser, and an Iranian M-49 Carbine. I will also consider any carbines in 6.5X55 Swede, or .303 British. I am also considering M-38 Mosin Nagants, early war production.

Let me know if you hear anything about the M-49. I'm curious to know how many of them are around and what the going rate is these days, etc.

Hello,

I am looking to compile a list of carbines that are near the same length over all (muzzle to butt) as the No.5 Mk.I Jungle Carbine, or shorter or a tad longer.

So far I have to start the list:

Swedish M/94 6.5X55
Portugese 1909 Cav Carbine 30-06
Kar 88 7.92X57 I
Martini-Enfield Artillery Carbine .303 Brit

Thank you gents, I look forward to what you can suggest!

Cheers,
Drachenblut

I think you meant Argentinian on 1909 cav carbine.
 
That's a very pretty rifle in Post Number 32. Betcha a guy could make something like that up in the basement.

Do it even nicer, factory chequering, too.

Just start with one of these here unfired Number 1 Mark VIs and a router, grind off those stoopid tabs some yo-yo welded to the left side of the frame, trash that lousy old scope and put on a new Tasco, rout out the woodwork, saw back the fore-end a tad, weld on one of those front-sight protectors from the real old .22 model that they made 'way back when.....

Shouldn't take long.

John! It's just me! It's okay to breathe!!
