Originally designed as Britain's new high velocity "super rifle", the U.S. Enfield was to represent a radial departure from the usual process of the British and U.s. service rifle. In both its .303-in. and .30 caliber forms, it was born of necessity during war, manufactured in millions in the short space of but a few years, and ony destined for a relatively short service life. The book presents a new perspective of a well known rifle, and so is of special interest to collectors and shooters alike. The U.S. Enfield also contains -- New details of sniper models, the Pederson conversion, and skeleton and .22 models; Descriptions of the attachments and accessories: grenade cups and launchers, bayonets, wirebreakers & cutters, as well as slings and cleaning gear; comprehesive listing of manufacture and armoureres markings, as well as the various production figures. About 300 illustrations.
