What if the US had adoped the Enfield?

[John Kepler]

The Lee-Enfield wasn't used in the Boer War. They were Lee-Metfords(aka Long-Lee) Not the same thing..

Actually, it was! Though you are quite right on one thing.....they AREN'T the same thing! A Lee-Metford isn't a "Long-Lee", and they were Lee-Enfields (MLE)!

The barrel is shot out.

I'm a competition shooter chum and the barrel was not only air-gauged, but bore-scoped! It isn't "shot-out"....it was made wrong!
