I just got my grandfathers 1898 Long Lee Enfield on my FAC, after it lay concealed for guessing 100 odd years, and I intend to shoot it, a little, with mild loads. I also got the (presumably) matching 1898 bayonet.
I don't really understand what you are talking about. I don't lose a sight picture when cycling the action of a turn down bolt Mauser. Maybe with a straight bolt handle that would be a problem.
I often hail the brits as being some of the most brutal humans on Earth, being part British I had to pick up a no 1 mk3 and so my Enfield addiction begins
The thing is, I get the fascination with historical firearms and high quality modern hunting rifles., and the want to shoot at stuff; targets, game etc. What I don’t understand is the defence of zero background checks, semi-autos etc. The dudes on gear all seem rational, knowledgeable and sane. It’s the hicks from the sticks, open carry, cold dead hand etc. that are a puzzle.

I also have the 1898 Long Lee, it shoots great!!! Go give it a try
Beautiful old rifles.
Beautiful rifle!!
The Brits used the Metford in South Africa not the Enfield
The Lee Enfield rifles are all very good to shoot. I have one in 7.62 Nato
Mauser fanboys will note that it not necessary to lose your sight picture when you throw the bolt

@@windogendoors7566 there are several mauser versions so maybe in some designs
He fires the 303 like a novices you use the parm of the hand faster and pad the shoulder stops the recolde
Lee-Metford, not an Enfield?
Yes. I think the Indian Police / Paramilitary still use the Lee Enfield.

The remington lee rifle was the inspiration for the lee Enfield and metford
No one else commented?!

Mas-36 is superior viva la france
The mas 36 is a 50 year younger design so it's wrong to compare those 2 to each other
