mauser vs. lee enfield?

[Beerhunter]

Hope this doesn`t become a political forum!
Collecting is just good sport and great fun..
Here`s something: My dad was an allied combat soldier during WWll, but for
all that he still admired his opponents` superb weaponry (K98), as do i.
I just admire Lee Enfields more!!

I agree with you and my post was an ill-advised reaction.

However I disagree about the Kar98k. (I own one of them, as well as my Lee-Enfields.) It's heavy, slow and has too small capacity. The Germans had an opportunity to produce something better in 1935 and, for what ever reasons, decided not to.
