Fixed it, I think. Try it now.
Well, Beanbag already covered those in his thread and they would have been hands down winners here.
I agree. Because I own a ‘03, an Eddystone, Garand and 2 Trapdoors. Doesn’t matter if it would be the winner. That’s the idea of the thread. But I still had 3 to cast a vote.
Since this is a Milsurp thread, it shouldn't. It' clearly labelled.
Ya, but if I'd put 7.62x39 on the list, might as well have done .308 and .223 too.....haha. Those were also covered in Beenbag's thread, and have also moved more into the "mainstream plinking/hunting" category, I think. But I get your point of course.
It is a hard hitting round that was common 15-20 years ago when large amounts of MAS 36 and 49 rifles and ammo came into the country. The 36s were little used by the French and are still to be found in immaculate condition. The 49/56 semi autos are nifty, tank-like guns that still run well despite their hard usage in the French colonial wars. Beware .308 conversions, though as they need quite a lot of tuning to feed right.
In private hands, I think the answer would be a resounding "YES!"This makes me wonder if there are more Enfields and Mosins living in the US now than in England and Russia.....
