That's like putting oil and water together for elitists!Finally have my akimbo setup. Sig p320c and a newly acquired gen 5 glock 19. I love the not quite full size but not quite compact frame on em both

Looks cool in any case!
My Dad had one in near perfect shape but .303 and I passed on it after he passed away. My Brother now owns it and I am kicking myself. I don't remember what Mk or No. it was.The reincarnated Gibbs #7 Jungle Carbine. Built on a 1967 Ishapore Mk IIA .308.
I've had to bone up on Enfields and it's been an enjoyable education.
@Velzey cleaned it up, bead blasted and parkerized it and I cleaned up and refinished the wood. I also had to change out the foregrip because of some damage so I bought a full sized one from Numrich and cut and reshaped it.
I just put it back together and I'm very happy with the result.

It didn't look any different than my No. IV other than the short length and the flash hider. I wish that I had paid more attention. It would now be in my safe instead of my Brother's. Looking it up, you are most likely right on the No. 5.It's a repro made by Gibbs Firearms maybe twenty years or more ago. Same guy owned Navy Arms.
I'm pretty sure that your Dad's would have been a #5.
Cool. What was the hardest part outside of paying for it? For me it's always the trigger guard. I always use the Magpul polymer part. Maybe the steel GI part goes in easier.Finished this this morning, PSA 10.5" Shockwave pistol kit w/complete upper, Anderson lower, Tactical Expressions Punisher Girl pins and grip, Larue MBT trigger, Magpul SL handguard and an SBA 4 brace.
I built it for my fiance, it's my first build and all things considered it went pretty well considering that I started in the basement of the learning curve.
She jokes that she has short arms/T. Rex arms, so I couldn't help myself, see pics.
