You see any similarities between the two? Some gunwriters claim that the Scout design is based the #5 Jungle Carbine.

Years ago when I was stationed at Fort Lewis, WA in the 9th Infantry Division my shooting buddy bought one of those jungle carbines at a gun show. It came with an ammo can full of British military surplus ammo. I wasn’t sure about firing that old stuff but it was okay. The action on it was so smooth and easy to function.

It's an interesting piece of history. The gun I have appears to have entered the US before 1968. It is correct, but there was an outfit years ago that took #4s and reworked to look like the #5 Jungle Carbine. If you see a #5 today be sure to look carefully and make sure it's not a look-a-like. Now to find the right bayonet for the #5 is a different issue.
