    I always thought those were cool looking rifles. I remember when they were dirt cheap. Is 303 pricey ammo? Vdisregard, looks pricey

    Ricci, you offer some nice guns. If I can offer one bit of constructive criticism on your auctions, I think it would be of benefit to include at least one picture/image that shows the entire gun all in one image from a straight on side shot. With long guns, you obviously lose a lot of detail in that shot, but it's nice to be able to see the overall look of a gun.

    This would be particularly helpful to me, in the instant case, since I heretofore was not familiar with a jungle carbine. I kept scrolling back and forth to get an idea of what the gun looks like.

    Regards and good luck with your listings.[:)]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Your too good to me Ricci. [xx(]

    I'm trying hard to fight the urge. I collect mil. issue bolt actions. Have always wanted to add a Jungle Carbine to the mix.



    I'll probably just watch this one. If it does not get too crazy, I may come in toward the end.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    the only one I had bought ( and sold later [:(]) I bought at a big out door type hunting event ( was the * dog nationals held here in Ohio drew huge amounts of people and guns for a week )
    it was the 1st one I had ever seen was not even sure what it was or what ammo it used or If I could even find any ( I think the seller did not know either looking back on it he was just carrying in thru the gate and could not answer any questions ) I gave 25.00 for it some time in the mid 1970's
    it was nothing great but a good conversation piece to have

    Thank you Sir for taking the time to let me know your thoughts. Constructive criticism is very welcome. I have added two more photos please let me know if this is what you wanted. Again thank you, Ricci.quote:Originally posted by Mr. Perfect

    While the two you just added are indeed helpful, neither is quite a straight on shot. The perspective you used sort of distorts the length and features, does that make sense? I appreciate how you have considered my 2 cents.[8D]

    Always wanted one of those. One problem I read about was they were not very accurate, wandering zero problem. Finally someone found that the lightening cuts that were made on the receiver was the main problem. Years ago, Gibbs Rifle Co. created some and did not do the receiver cuts which improved accuracy greatly, or so I remember from reports at the time. Still, it is a rifle on my wish list.[8D]

    Ricci,
    Nice looking gun, but can offer some advice? I do make a living buying and selling online, and have since 1987. (I sold on the newsgroups, aka "Usenet" back then.)

    Go to ebay, and buy a "photography backdrop cloth". They are about $10-20. Spread that over your background area, and put your guns on that. They come in various colors. I usually buy blue and black. Red tends to bleed red color onto the items.

    You'll have nicer pictures, and make more money. Good pictures equal good money! Trust me on this!

    You don't have to spend a fortune, just buy a backdrop cloth and cover up all the junk (er.........stuff!) on your desk with it.

    My desk is just as bad, trust me. I have a dedicated spot for taking pictures with lights and everything. You don't *have* to have all that, but it really helps.

    Good luck on your listings.

    Merc
