Riley may be on to something. 1917 Enfield, at least fixes your ammo availability. Although, my Mk.4, I think, is the best built, best feeling gun I have. Including new production.
For one thing, 7.62x54R ammo is far cheaper and bulk tins from the eastern block are easy to find around Alaska.
Plus, 54R hits harder than the .303 and does better with bigger bullets
But mostly, I just don't like them much
I'd like to see the mosin adherents explain what makes their rifle superior, besides a questionable increase in velocity.
And lemme tell you this about that - shooting the LightMag 303 stuff in either of my Enfields flattens primers pretty alarmingly. I'll not do that again.Hornady Light Mag - 150 grain bullet at a MV of 2,830 fps with ME of 2,667 ft. lbs
