For WW1 era guns I think the Enfield was the finest service rifle of its day followed very closely by the M1917.
SMLE No. 4. Jungle carbine
My 96 swedish mauser is the favorite of all my guns. I have a 94 also that was made under contract in germany for sweden. Both were sporterized long ago. They are just a slick smooth action compared to any 98s ive tried. The 98 would be my next choice though.
If we are talking about WWI, then my favorite is the SMLE.
OP, if you are building a WWI collection you need a Pattern 14 to go w your Model of 1917.
If you are building a WWII collection you need a Type 99
That was an issue with the 1910 Ross but not the 1905.In my part of the world you never see a Ross. I've read the bolts assemble funny... if it's not just right, it'll blow back in your face.
You may have misread the original post, his question referred to WWI rifles.M1 Garand. Hands down. I have each of almost everything listed. I will take the Garand.
That’s in fantastic conditionHow about a Remington manufactured Mle 1907-15 French Brethier.
