WW2? MAS Mle.1936, Enfield No.4, or M1903A3.
>>
>>34034705
Mas 36 or Type 99.
>>
For pure combat ? The no.4 Enfield. It's got some of the best sights, high mag capacity, action speed, and one of the more realistic bayonets of the war
>>
>>34034759
it was used in both wars
>>
>>34034762
Already own a 1903 Springfield
>>
>>34034787

the only reason I got rid of my no4 mk1 was the caliber - hard to find in a SHTF situation. if only they made these in 308

Am i doing it rite goy... I mean guyze?
>>
>>34035174
They did.
Quite a few were converted to .308 and the Brits also built a fairly large number of marksman rifles with new parts.
>>
>>34034705
Would hate to be assigned that particular rifle... I guess you would have to get really good at using those volly sights :)
>>
>>34034705
I'd say the Mauser or Arisaka for their actions, the Lee Enfield for its magazine.

>>34035600
This. Fuck surplusshits. I can't wait until these autists get permanently purged from the gene pool in SHTF by objectively superior, respectable modern gun owners literally due to their MUH HISTORY autism.

FUCK MILSPERGERS
>>
>>34035600
If it survived the world wars, it'll survive SHTF. Hell, in both OIF and OEF the militias and hajis were caught still using old Enfields. In Syria today, Mosins and even STG44s are seen in use.
>>
>>34035472
hey thanks. I'll keep an eye out for one

>SMLE not the No4
Don't fuck this up, OP.

It survived wars where they had a fuckton of ammunition available, spare parts everywhere, and if your gun got fucked you could just get a new one quickly supplied to you or take the rifle off your dead buddy.

In an SHTF situation where your ammo and parts are basically limited to what you have on your person when it all starts you will be infinitely better off with something that you can afford plenty off ammo and parts for, doesn't even have to an AR-15 or whatever, a modern common bolt gun in .308 is a better option than a surplus gun chambered in fucking .303 british.

Man... I love Mausers etc, but you just can't get better than a SMLE.

>>34036208
Ishapore 2a1, it was the last non specialized bolt action used by any recognized military worldwide.

we have one for sale for around $400 (though i might be able to talk them down to $350) at the local pawn shop and i plan on getting it

Type 99 accept no shitty britbong rifle that even the British Government hated.
>>
>>34036704
No rifle has been more overrated in human history.
>>
>>34037208
the m1 garand
the ak47
the barrett m82
>>
>>34037338
You do make some valid points...
>>
>>34037338
>m1 garand

It was a game changer for WWII and looks aesthetic as hell. The other two I'll give you though.
>>
>>34037435
Never forget the people who quote this in full seriousness outside of the context of WWII
>>
K31 really is overrated though
>>

MAS36

Get one under $550
And get PPU ammo
>>
>>34037338
m1 garand was actually good.

the AK was actually good.

the M82 is a meme because of CoD
>>
>>34036208
I want one so badly. I also want one of those Chilean or Spanish mausers that they made in .308

would be neat. and cheaper to feed
>>
>>34037510
Something being overrated does not mean that it is actually bad.
