Default Re: Enfield Experts wanted

Are you looking for a .30-06 Enfield or a .303 Enfield?

I've always been partial to the SMLE (.303) for no other reason than I like its looks, though I hate its sights. The No.4 Enfield in .303 is probably the better rifle (a 1930s update of the SMLE with a heavier barrel and better sights). The No. 5 (aka the "Jungle Carbine") is said to kick like a mule and is not known for accuracy.

I have no experience with the US Enfields.

If you care about such things, the bayonet for a SMLE is the old, long sword type. Again, I like the look.
