Everybody here seems to be on Enfields vs. O3A3. Have you guys ever ran a Mannlicher? They run like merde through a goose. Those Greek Mannlichers Bredas( make in Austria but say Italian) are still alive and well. The Improved 52 in 06 and you can send rounds accurately down range. It is a extremely accurate carbine that is handy.
OH yeah, I have a 1904 Steyr Mannlicher 8x57, that compares favorably...maybe beats the 6.5 Norwegian Krag for speed and equal smoothness of operation. The 5 round packet is faster and more fumble free than any stripper clip.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
