US 1917 enfield (all 6) ?????

I don't follow, there were only three manufacturers. Now if you mean one of each in 1917 and one of each in #3mk1 (P14) that would be six?

Well I have 6 different P14's as well. Three with Parker-Hale micrometer sights and three stock. and they are the three different makers Plus one M1917 with a Parker Hale sight. I have kept the original rear volley sights and the rear sights for those with the target sights The M1917 has RCAF property marks.

You might class the P14's that went through the Weedon Repair Centre before WW2 as different since the volley sights were deleted, though I don't have any of those.

[Quarks]

As 0311Shooter says, I assume you don't have to own one but merely have to be familiar with shooting it:

In no particular order:

M-1;

1917 Enfield;

Mossberg 500 12ga pump;

Pretty much anything in .375 H&H;

Barrett .50.

[KevinB]

M1 Garand
M1A Supermatch
1903A1 Springfield
CAR-15 with ACOG
Springfield M2 .22LR rifle

[MEHavey]

Pre`64 Model 70
Springfield 03
Garand
Win 52 (any model)
Colt HBAR

Add a Model 12 if we get to include shotguns
Ithaca 37
Rem 870

Depending on the phase of the moon and color of the trees, any of the above could change places when I get up in the morning.

But if on a large south Pacific island w/ only one gun in one caliber, it would be the Model 70 in 30-06 for rifle, and/or the Rem 870 in 12ga for shotgun

Five favorite long arms? I'd have to plead multiple personality if I only could have five.

I suppose if I had to ...

Thompson 1927 A1
Thompson 1927 A3
Johnson 1941
M14
M1 Carbine

Of course my wish list would have to include a BAR.
(do accessory kits count?)

[Sarge]

Well, kinda hard to just pick 5 since I probably have 2 or 3 that would tie for first place. All of these I own and shoot:

1. FN/FAL select fire - Every time I go out!
2. MP 43 - don't shoot this as much as I would like.
3. Mk I Bren - regularily
4. M1 Carbine
5. K 43 - my hunting rifle
I also cheat and add
6. Garand - 43 SA (I'm in the process of building a Beretta in 7.62 Nato)

And I've also got a BAR, but I like the Bren better.
