The Sun Never Sets on the Lee-Enfield! (Mumbai Attacks)

[elmerfudd]

So does this make the Lee Enfield the longest serving military rifle or is the Mosin Nagant still soldiering on somewhere as well? Or perhaps this doesn't even count as these were presumably police.

Finland use/used a sniper rifle called the Tak or TK 85. its a modified Mosin, some on original 1890's receivers.

All of the major MBR's ( SMLE,MN,Mauser etc) are still in conflicts across the world. so it really depends on what your definition of "military" service is...

one mans patriot is another's terrorist. one mans army is anothers insurgency. and its always a "revolt" until you win. only then its a "revolution"
