I spent $400 on what I thought was a British Rifle No. 5 Mark I Jungle Carbine which is a relatively rare rifle that I had always wanted to add to my collection. I went that weekend to go fire it, but it would not chamber the .303 British round that it is supposed to fire. I took it home, took it apart and inspected it, and noticed that most of the parts looked to be made from hand-filed pot metal and the wood was really rough on the inside, which clued me in that the rifle is actually a rather poorly-made Khyber Pass copy. This means that even if I figured out what round (if any) it fired, it probably wouldn’t be safe to shoot, which more or less means it’s just an expensive paperweight. I’ve tried to sell it a few times, but I don’t want to lie to people, so I always told them that it is a copy that is probably unsafe to fire, and the most I’ve been offered is $20. Since then, it’s grown on me as a conversation piece and something neat to stick over the fireplace, but I’m still pissed that the dealer sold it to me probably knowing that it was not an original British rifle (I’ve bought rifles from him before without any problems). Needless to say, he lost a customer over that.
