This video explores three Australian prototype jungle carbines developed from the Lee-Enfield No1 Mk3* rifle during 1943. Unlike British efforts, Australia focused on the SMLE as Lithgow Arsenal hadn't transitioned to the No4. The video examines a simple shortened SMLE, and two experimental designs, the No6 Mk1 and No6 Mk1/1, which were considered for adoption. These carbines were lighter and shorter than the standard rifle, though their development was curtailed by the end of World War II. The No5 Mk1 carbine, similar in concept, was adopted by Britain. The video highlights the visual differences and the historical context of these rare prototypes.
