Being left-handed in the gun world sucks but it's great on the AK and the AR is fairly Ambitious (there is aftermarket ambidextrous selector switches) The only guns that are not ambidextrous are the original ARs without the brass deflector built in them and most Bullpups.
I agree with you best ww1 bolt action and even really nice by ww2 standards, but if only the Us stuck with them, imagine a shortened version for ww2, the Chinese had them cut down and chambered to 8mm mauser I would love to have one of those
In WW2 the Garand was being fielded and these wouldn't really make sense as every bolt action ever was made obsolete as an infantry rifle when the Garand was introduced, the firepower just could not be competed with by a bolt action rifle
@@imk2007I assume the implication is that if the US didn't adopt the Garand as early (or at all) and was still using a bolt action rifle en masse by WW2 like all of the other major powers.
@@imk2007 it's a hypothetical, like what if the someone convinced the ordnance department that adopting an autoloading rifle wasn't worth the money and effort needed to replace the 1903s and 1917s. Or the Treasury denied additional funding for the 1924 and 1932 rifle trials and instead opted to modernize the M1917.
@@imk2007 in ww1 the germans thought that they were under machine gun fire when it was highly trained rifle man with the Lee enfield ! yes the garand was a game changer but there was a reason why the lee was still in uk service right up to the 50s ! it worked
Great weapons. I've shot an m1 garand before. All around great rifle with excellent recoil mitigation. For its time, it was pound for pound the best rifle in WWII
The M-1903 maybe the iconic rifle of the Great War for America, but the M-1917 was carried by more Doughboys than the M-1903. In fact the soldiers of the 35th Infantry Division carried the M-1917 until it was replaced in the early years of World War Two by the M-1 Garand.
The Japanese Arisaka-both in 6.5mm or 7.7mm-is in my opinion the best and most serviceable combat bolt-action rifle ever made for the common infantry soldier, fighting the actual sort of battles that were being fought around the world during the first half of the 20th Century CE.
Agree 100%, especially short rifle and carbine Type 38 and the short Type 99. The m1917 is too beefy of a gun and that receiver would have been a PITA to machine vs the Type 99.
@@Ice7734. When they are matching(ie how they were originally issued) they don’t make noise. Also, like the Garand ping, it’s Fuddlore that it gave away positions. You aren’t going to hear that with everything else going on. Even being silent, you think all the rest of the gear doesn’t have its own clicks and squeaks? Please. 😂
@@Ice7734. : Arisakas that were issued to Japanese soldiers never had rattling dust covers. Only the beaten up mismatched Arisakas mistreated by the Allies postwar ever experienced such a thing as a “rattling dust cover”. Arisakas during their actual era of formal Japanese war service were absolutely rock solid in every way.
The K31 is a great rifle but “best combat bolt-action” is VERY dubious. What combat record does the K31 have…? Trading with the Nazis and safely hoarding their gold during WWII isn’t “combat”. 😂
@Ice7734. They are both bolt action rifles. One is a turn bolt action rifle and the other is a straight pull bolt action rifle. Deffinantly though my favorite military bolt actions I own and I own alot. Swedish Mauser m96 K31 M1917 or p14 Springfield 03a3 The k31 or swedish mauser are both my top favorites though but for different reasons. Honorable mentions 1909 argentine mauser. Insanely smooth action, accurate, smoothest clips of pretty much any rifle I've ever used.
This was my first surplus military rifle I ever bought, it was 1985 and missing a handguard retainer I paid $100 even money for it. A complete nice condition P17 fetched about 150 those days. It was an Eddystone in very nice condition and yes, it's a very robust, well built, no nonsense, cock on closing mauser type rifle. I eventually found the part I needed on an old barreled action I found on a garbage pile. The barrel was split open like a banana.
I have to shoot left handed because I have a disability in my left arm so I can’t stabilize the gun but can still pull a trigger, it also sucks because I love old military rifles like this but sometimes the stocks are to long so it’s hard for me use them. And that rifle is a beautiful piece of art and history.
Kind of looks like he needed to be a little more firm with the strip clip. Have been blessed to have one in our fam for over 70 yrs. A straight shooter.
great rifle and shooting the enfield with the right hand is even better because you can pull the trigger holding the Bolt at the same time, so its faster to shoot
Shot one of these as army cadet at 12years old and I loved it ok there is recoil but not that bad and a great trigger and the right hold not hard and let recoil and it was very accurate
Sadly the days are gone of buying these types of rifles used for 200$ Was at 1st Monday flea market in Canton ,TX in 84 and guy had a crate of Brazilian made Mausers from the 1930s. Never fired, still had grease on them. Still regret not buying one.
@Ice7734 cool. I finally decided to buy a used bolt action or semi to do some plinking but that was right around the riots a few years back. Could not leave the store for less than 800$. Still want to get one though. Good day to ya's
Yes, if I had to go to war with a WW2 bolt gun it'd be the Enfield #4 mk 1 or 2. People look at Mauser K98s & just don't get that difference because they've listened to K98 Simps for years & don't think for themselves.
@@dumptrump3788 Well, the Enfield 1917 is literally a Mauser clone, and developed by the British no less when they decided to abandon the SMLE....the 1917 was quite literally developed to replace the SMLE. The American version also used a rimless cartridge, which I think is a pretty distinct advantage. Interesting that both the Americans and the Brits decided to develop and adopt Mauser clones based on direct combat experience (Spanish American War/Boer War), don't you think? Sure, the Lee Enfield ended up being a fantastic combat rifle in its final form, but it's probably more than a footnote that Paul Mauser got so much right in 1898, to the point where most modern actions are patterned off of it, not the SMLE action. There were also too many nations to count buying or building Mausers under contract. You can nearly count on one hand the number of nations that adopted actions that weren't Mauser (France, UK, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Russia...).
@@tedhodge4830it’s interesting to look at the “Lee-Enfield” and it’s development. During the time Great Britain had the Lee they basically adopted 4 or 5 different guns by the time it was said and done over the years. It’s like if the Germans had adopted the m89 Mauser, then the m93, then the m95, then the m98. All “Mausers” but all different. The A-H were looking at adopting the Mauser but it wasn’t practical at the time. The Carcano was called the “Mauser-Paravicino” because the front of the bolt was inspired by the m89. The Type 38+ was one of the few knockoffs that could be said to be an actual improvement of sorts. But yes, Mauser designs dominates one way or another.
In general, initially it was a Pattern 14 / P-14 rifle made in Britain and then modernized in America. It seems that it was even mass-produced, but for the sake of cheapness, they used the Springfield M1903.
No, it's the M1917 Enfield, the American version of the Pattern 1914 Enfield rifle. The "Enfield" in the name refers to the RSAF factory in Enfield where it was made (older firearms made there also had Enfield in their designation, such as the Pattern 1853 Enfield rifled musket). It has nothing to do with the Lee-Enfield design.
