Why did the USA stick with the Springfield after WWI, despite roughly 75% of our boys being armed with the Enfield during that war?
Pre-WWI and during-WWI production of the Springfield was something in excess of 1 million, while 2.5 million Enfields were produced by the end of WWI.
I have handled but shot neither rifle. Is one better than the other? At first glance, the Enfield looks to have a much better sighting system.
Anybody own or have experience using both?
