If its actually a "2A1 jungle carbine" then its already modified as no such thing existed in the military.

| dittos what shamu said above , i think there is a Bsquare mount for the 2A/2A1 and no 1 type rifles that is a NO D&T type , im not certain if there is a difference but your rifle is a 762x51 2A/2A1 version so be certain to look carefully and use that nomenclature to be certain you get the right one , |

You could try Valmont Firearms in the UK, they do quite a bit of stuff for Enfields. Check out their web site. ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |
