MRCLARK said:I'd take this Enfield
well no one said I could choose the EM-2
one of those and an lithgow No6 carbine please and thank you
Well if we can broaden the wish list, I'd like to have TE Lawrence's ShtLE No.1MkIII, inlaid with gold as gifted by Faisal after the Arab Revolt which now resides on display in the Tower of London. The arm in question haven been first given by the Turkish government to Faisal as a bribe, the Turks having acquired it from a dead British soldier at Gallipolli with the 1st Garrison Battalion Essex Regiment.
The arabic inscription reads "part of our booty taken during the battles for the Dardanelles". It was intended to impress upon Faisal, a man of some influence with the tribes but who was not yet King, that Turkey was winning the war and he should side with them, not Britain. History shows Faisal chose otherwise.
That's the specific rifle I want. Dare to dream...

new Enfield
Well it's not exactly an Enfield, but I would like to have Henry Norwest's Ross rifle that he was sniping with in WW1.
