I am considering purchasing an Enfield carbine from AIM surplus. They are chambered in 7.62 NATO. I have alot of experience with mosins, K31's, AR's, M1's, and M1A's; however my knowledge of enfields is minimal.
The reason I want the rifle is that I already have the ammo stocked, I'd like a truck gun, I don't have an enfield in the collection it (and what chance is better, with these I don't have to stock and reload another caliber).
I was wondering though: How accurate should these carbines be? 3moa or better if the shooter does his part? How reliable is the enfield action? If anyone has gotton one of these, what condition was it in when you recieved it? How is the fit on these rifles, does the bolt typically have alot of slop, what are the triggers like (better than a Mosin trigger?)?
