How about an Enfield 2B in .308?

Also a great weapon. Most of these have been modified and rebarreled from .303 to .308 anyway. There is a company that even specializes in sporterizing them and I was thinking of their "Jungle Carbine Model 7" when I suggested that model. For the life of me, I can't recall the name of the company that does those conversions. Anybody remember and have a link?

I think the 2Bs were built from scratch as .308.

There was an outfit, called the “Santa Fe Armory” in Anaheim, CA, if I recall correctly, that built replicas of the No. 5 Jungle Carbine by modifying No. 4s about 50 years ago.

There is also an outfit named “Gibbs” (in Pennsylvania?) that built replicas of the No. 5, probably from scratch. There was an article about them five or ten years ago in one of the trade magazines.
