More Bad Press For The Enfield

[Edward Horton]

Alan de Enfield

I emailed you and told you that you were conversing with "inherent weakness" Alfred AKA GunnerSam in another forum.

In this same forum "inherent weakness" Alfred said he was in contact with the British NRA and "other sources" warning them about shooting the Enfield in the rain and the .308/7.62 conversions.

Common sense by the reader is required when reading this material printed by uninformed gullible sources.
It is also my understanding that wars and conflicts are not called off due to rain.

I can also tell you the Enfield Rifle was proof tested with oiled proof rounds to increase bolt thrust to seat the bolt lugs and bolt head. I can also tell you that after this proof test the Enfield rifle was checked to see if the head space had increased excessively.

Oil and water on your ammunition and in your chamber can increase the wear and head space on ANY rifle, BUT it does not cause the Enfield rifle to explode.
(Just ask your veterans who fired them under wet combat conditions)

I can also tell you that here in the U.S. there are no warning stickers on our bananas telling us that if you step on a banana peel you can slip and break you neck.

Ed,
I'm sure I've seen stickers on my bananas from Giant in Camp Hill warning me that it's dangerous to eat bananas in the rain especially if you throw the peels on the ground?"
