Enfield

BattleRifleG3 · 11-24-2005, 06:25 PM

alraicer · 11-24-2005, 07:39 PM

I am torn. I love the mausers, enfields, Mosins, and the garand. But the 2nd rifle I ever shot was a M1 so I vote Garand

A total of 6.25 million M1 Carbines of various models were manufactured, thus making it the most produced small arm in American military history. Despite being designed by Winchester, the great majority of these were made by other companies. The largest producer was the Inland division of General Motors, but many others were made by contractors as diverse as IBM and the Rock-Ola jukebox company.

The german designation for captured Carbines was Selbstladekarabiner 455(a). The "(a)" came from the country name in German, in this case, Amerika. (note the German spelling)

ducktapehero · 11-24-2005, 10:16 PM

M1 Carbine.

whirlwind · 11-24-2005, 11:20 PM

swedish m-96 hands down! sure the garand was inovative and the enfield was a work horse but the fit and finish and accuracy of the swede's just pushes the others to the curb in my opinion.(dont tell my garand i said that!)

I agree with whirlwind. The one I use has the sniper scope with it. With it, we shoot the ears off the prairie dogs first, just to make 'em mad. One fringe benefit of being neutral, is that your guns look nice after the war.
