I have one of the Gibbs version of the Jungle
Carbine. It was originally chambered in .308,
and of course it still is.
I like it a great deal, with one caveat. Smooth
action, 12 round mag, .308, lets your shoulder
know it's there, and as far as I can tell,
reasonably accurate.
What I HATE about this weapon is the sights.
Pure 100% crap. I had to bend the front blade
to get the windage close. The rear ladder type
sights are less than useless. After each shot
the adjustment would bump from the lowest point
up to 400 or so meters. I tried gluing it in
place at the lowest setting, and that lasted for
a few range trips. I sent off about $40 for a
"non-gunsmith" scope mount - which was $40 down
the toilet. Basically, what I have is a rifle
whose manual of arms is - fire a shot - work the
bolt - pull the rear sight back into "low", ...
I'd really appreciate it if anyone could tell me
about a replacement rear sight (peep preferred)
or a sturdy scope mount (second choice).
Hope this helps,
