BSA  M47C   No5 Mk1   Jungle Carbine  .303  Dated 1944

This very early  No5 Mk1  and is one of the earliest  Jungle Carbine,  manufactured in mid 1944 for the war against the Imperial Japanese Army in Burma.

     The Jungle carbine was lightened to make it easier to carry in the hot damp condition of the Burma jungle.
