    I saw that thread, read that response and was quite angry. It also perpetuates some people's ideas that these rifles are old, useless, junk. As for making the comparison to the Mosin Nagant.... I will just say this... I have never once had an Enfield with a bolt that was hard to open after firing but I have had several Mosin Nagants and Mausers that took a rubber mallet to open the bolt due to fouling after firing a few rounds. The looser tolerances on an Enfield are there for a reason.
