It seems to be the fairly high price of reloadable ammo and bullets having "pull cuts", and the lack of reliable surplus -if found at all- at a much lower price, which keeps the price of #4/Mk. 1 rifles stable.
Due to the ammo situation I learned to reload, and now have four #4s, plus a pair of authentic #5 "Jungle Carbines".
If suplus ammo were super cheap and available, the "Jungle" would be my favorite gun, and its handiness seems preferable to my Garand.
If I had never handled an extremely rare AIA (imitation) Jungle in 7.62x39 at a Saginaw MI Gander Mountain in early '09, soon followed by watching "Croc. Dundee" using his commercial sport. version in movie Crocodile Dundee #2, the bug Might not have bitten me.
