Enfield conversion
I really want to get one of the mark 5 jungle carbines in .308. I don't have the funds right now and won't until I finish several other builds and projects so I don't know if I'll be able to find onbe when I'm done. I've noticed while lookin on the auction side that the Ishapore 2A's in .308 are plentiful and cheap and that the jungle carbines seem to be scarce and most of the time much higher in price. Would it be possible to cut down the 2A and put it in jungle carbine stock? Would it be worth it or would I be better off just spending the extra loot on a true mark 5? Also could I convert a jungle carbine from .303 to .308? Originality of the rifle is not a big concern. I just really like the look of the jungle carbine and wanted a .308 for the range, coyotes, wild pigs, dear, or whatever else I thought needed to be shot with something bigger than a .223. I wanted the .308 because I've been told the .303 is a beast to shoot out of the carbine and the ammo is not as plentiful. If I would do better with the .303 that info would be apreciated also.
