My old man has a No5 jungle carbine, overall in good condition except the barrel is stuffed. Real nasty pitting about halfway down the bore. He bought it way back when they were cheap, and has never used it because of the barrel. I'd love to get it shooting again. Does anyone know if its remotely possible to get a replacement? Dad said he enquired years ago at the army disposal shop in town and they had some then, but I checked with recently and surprise surprise, they don't any more.
If its impossible to find them anymore, would it be possible to have someone like TSE or Allan Swan make a new one?
