I recently picked up a Jungle Carbine or at least a nice replica I had a few questions about it that makes me question the authenticity or at least maybe a few mismatched parts. I took it out to the range and it fired fine so at least I have myself a nice shooter if it turns out to be fake.

I think I may have a mismatched bolt I'm not certain it has MK II engraved on it also the number "2". And the bolt handle is hollowed out but not as much as some other Carbine pictures I found on the internet.

Another issue I have is that the front sight post is offset to the left. It looks like it can be forced more to the right I'm not sure if that is normal or if it is a cheap add on or something along those lines?

I will include some pictures any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!
