Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder poll

[Riflechair]

OK This is going to be a hard one

Which of these two is more beautiful?

 

[Riflechair]

OK Admit it
You're all Enfield crazy bastards aren't you.

Considering that Savage stopped production in 1944, I wonder if this is a trick question?

I shot my M14 in a match instead of an Enfield & felt guilty the whole time.

 

[Riflechair]

You might be right
I chacked out the serial number (56C###X) which I believe places her at 1943
However there is no date stamped any where on the rifle
The original birch stock and 300/600 peep are brand new and in safe keeping.
I thought she was 1945 but it looks like I was mistaken.

Tough to decide. Which one would I like to own? The M-14, I think. But, I voted for the Enfield as the "beauty".
That M-14 is very cool but not the looker the Enfield is, even with that lovely walnut stock. Parkerized metal is plain ugly, imo.

Damn, Riflechair! Why do you torture us so with all of these swell rifles?

 

[true north]

That wasn't hard at all
I like Enfields

Was never an Enfield fan and I just watched Full Metal Jacket last night... so I am partial to the M-14

I have no patience for Bolt action rifles

That's an easy one, the Enfield !!

the stock on that m-14 is neat with all the swirls

One of the Lee Enfield forums I often frequent puts the 56C run at 1943. It's not unusual to see Savage rifles missing date stamps. Mine, 73C0###, and many others listed on this particular forum, do not have a date marked.

BTW...No4...of course!

 

[hoochie]

M-14. I think Enfileds are ugly and over rated and too old. Let it go... hang them on the wall.

 

[Hawkeye]

that wqas way too easy i voted before i even relised that there were pitures as well the lee enfield of course

 

[prosper]

The enfield looks classy and elegant. The M14 looks utilitarian, and almost crass

 

[Tanis]

A beauty contest between an Enfield and an M14?

Please.

That's like having a drag race between a Moped and an Ferrari.

Enfield all the way.

 

[Gibbs505]

That's an easy one, the Enfield !!
Cat

Yep!!!!!!!

 

[nelly]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but...

That No4 is pretty!

The wood on the m14 is beautiful but I still like the enfield better.

 

[Tbolt]

A tough choice for me but I'd have to go with the Enfield...

 

[Claven2]

The M14 might be the more modern or effective rifle, but the 1943 or 1944 SNo.4Mk1* is definitely a nicer LOOKING gun

 

[Ripstop]

Wouldn't that be the difference between a classic car and a muscle car? I like them both for different reasons.
