If you could own only 1 WWI Rifle?

[stripperclipper]

I do only own one rifle from ww1 and its a Ross.

 

[L42A1]

SMLE No.1 MkIII

 

[bellero]

Pre WW1 commercial mauser put into service by the German snipers at the beginning of the war. Something like a Mauser Oberndorf B-type sporter

 

[bussche]

Mauser T-Gewehr

 

[tbaybmkr]

Mosin Nagant M24 Finnish capture with the SIG barrel.
Why? Cause it's mine! ;-)

 

[Winchester-1897]

The Lewis gun

 

[RMM]

No 1 Mk 3, tho mine was made in 1964...

 

[donor]

Original issue Gew 88 or better yet first model of M91 MN except both where "upgraded" by 1914.

I have one too but I bought it bad in the 80`s for 50.00 what is a Sig Barreled M1891 worth these days?

 

[fugawi]

Depending on condition I would say $600 - $700. But keep in mind it all depends on how badly someone wants one. I see a M28 priced at $600 on the EE right now. It was higher and sat for a while.

 

[dgradinaru]

Mauser T-Gewehr

Now thats what im talking about!

 

[Riflechair]

Definetly a No1Mk111
Hands down

 

[plinker 777]

Riflechair w new avatar? looks like a "Doughboy" from the Stetson w/ a #4. Am I right?

 

[Kev303]

Ross rifle all the way

 

[Recce21]

Gew 98 with sawback bayo. Regimental marked to the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment

or

Enfield No.1 Mk.3* marked to the 50th Battalion, CEF

 

[ben hunchak]

For me, happiness is spelt 03A3.

 

[Boom-Boom]

For me, happiness is spelt 03A3.

Ben, you just slipped into WWII with your selection.....

My choice would be the 1903. Accurate, light and powerful.

BB

 

[rdelliott]

No.1 MkIII. And I'm amazed that nobody's brought up the stabby wonderfulness that is the Pattern 1907 bayonet yet. 17" of blade mounted on the end of one of the best battle rifles of all time makes one hell of a fashion statement.

Mosin Nagant 1907 would be the second choice.

 

[plinker 777]

Hey, question just came to mind. Are there any reported incidents of Austria-Hungarian/German Calvary charges against British/Common Wealth infantry? ( that's why 17" of blade on the 1907, gives the guy on the ground the reach to "unhorse" his mounted opponent)

 

[UCSPanther]

M1917 Enfield. My Grandfather was issued on during his service as a Home Guard officer during WWII.

Heavy, but very solid, dependable and built like a tank.
