RE: mauser or enfield
Like all Canadians I have a 303 British Lee Enfield in the closet, they had been sold in the Eaton’s and Simpson Sears catalogues for years after WWII. They are fun to shoot and are fine for bouncing around in a truck. But if you were to buy only a Mauser or an Enfield, I would buy the Mauser. If you get a deal on an Enfield by it. There was a tail that some solders could fire 10 rounds in 10 seconds out of an Enfield, I can’t.
