looking for an opinion
I don't know a lot about fire arms, that's why i am posting this.
so i just inherited a WWII british jungle carbine .303 and i was thinking of trading or bartering it for a ar-15 style rifle. I like the ar - 15 style rifles but the carbine has a lot of history. I just wanted peoples opinions keep or sell, thanx

Did you have a question?
The Mark 5 Lee-Enfield jungle carbines do have some collectors value, but unless it is pristine, I doubt that you could trade even for an AR.

I suspect you'd have to add quite a few $$$ to trade the Enfield for an AR...

A Mk.1 in very good condition can be had for $200.
If you find a generous buyer, you're looking at 2/3 of that amount.
Personally, I'd buy some ammo for it. Surplus for .303 is still available.
I'd take her to the range, give her a try. Good rifle.

If it is a genuine #5 in very good condition it does have value for a trade. There are alot of cut down copies out there that have little or no value. The Ishapore (India) cut downs are down right dangerous IMHO.

Why? Not doubting you, of course, but I've not heard this before. What makes them dangerous?
