How parochial can you get? To exclude the M17 Enfield, of which 2,2 million were made in one year. Late 1917 to mid 1918.
The rifle that the majority of US troops took to Europe and was the rifle carried by your Sgt. York.
Put into storage after WW1, and you went back to making the precious Springfield 03.
The M17 Enfield in sporterized form was the standard hunting rifle produced by Winchester and Remington for the civilian market up until WW2. You can see the heritage in the M70 Winchester and the M700 Remington.
Yet modern Americans wish to ignore its existence, or in their ignorance, slander the M17 Enfield. A quiet read of Mgr Julian Hatcher’s notebook may be in order
