How's your jungle carbine looking?
I ended up with 1 nice one, unfortunately not wearing the correct stock, and another that's correct but well used.
I got one that was sold locally, it's a 9/45 Faz production , and has a crack through one of the ears of the sight protector, but then it was $550 if I recall correctly.

Those of you with collectable Enfields or other military rifles need to thank those people who "sporterized" all those other rifles. If they had left their rifles alone, the supply of unaltered rifles would better fit, or exceed, demand. The prices would be much lower.
On the subject of ammunition, since some popular calibers, like .303 British, 30-06 and 7.92x57 have fallen out of favor in military circles, it has eliminated the over-run of military production of those calibers. Time has allowed the stocks of older ammo held by governments to be obsoleted by upgrades to newer calibers. Those obsolete rounds were dumped on the surplus market long enough ago that only supplies held unintentionally are still coming up in the surplus supply chain, and by now all these sources know of the shortage, and price accordingly.
