I mentioned this in the Big 5 Garand thread,but can't get an answer.One poster said that the US property marked Enfields were undesireable due to the fact that they have 2 groove barrels.Why is that bad?
What's wrong with 2 groove barrels?
"...Any two groove you may find on an M1 is an 03 barrel..." Nonsense. M-1 barrels were made with two grooves in late W.W. II to speed up production.
Someone PLEASE tell me that not all two groove No4 Mark 1's were US made and that some were just cheap Enfields made quickly for the war.
"...Any two groove you may find on an M1 is an 03 barrel..." Nonsense. M-1 barrels were made with two grooves in late W.W. II to speed up production. There was no difference in performance. A two groove barrel is exactly the same as a four groove barrel with one set of grooves omitted.
