Any one else sick of the misinformation?

[AradoAR234]

With all the sabre rattling between Pakistan and India again, one of my sons asked me if they both used lee Enfields against each other over the years, before adopting more modern arms. Assuming yes, I looked up some history on them and inadvertently came across a web site asking why more countries didn't use or copy them.

The numerous replies were all very negative towards the SMLE, and gave myriad reasons why the mauser and its copies were better in nearly every way. The usual tripe about the weak action, inaccuracy, head spacing, how it should have been replaced by the P14 , rim jam, how mediocre it was etc etc.

One misguided soul even said he would trust a mosin over an Enfield.........
