As much I love my Mle.1886 "Lebel"s and not to offend them to much by not saying that they are the best and they know they are, my other vote would be the Type 46 Siamese/Thai Mauser .... excellent workmanship and very accurate under-rated firearms
These weapons were used in combat:
1. Thailand fought France in 1940-41 over disputed territories in Frenchicon Indochina ... Franco–Thai War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2. Thailand fought the Japaneseicon on December 8, 1940 when they invaded Thailand ... Japanese invasion of Thailand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3. Thailand fought the Chinese in the Shan States from May 10, 1942 to January 15, 1943 ending with a mutual cease-fire after they had captured these States up to the Chinese border.
