Lee-Enfield .303 caliber rifle. Still commonly in use the middle-east, even though the design is 100+ years old.

A thought I heared that name before. 100 years old? Must been a design long before it's time if the same is still use today.

Also I thought the mainly used Ak47s in the middle east?

Some types were converted for sniper use yes. The UK used the mk4 up until the end of the seventies as a sniper rifle.

Mauser had plenty of good designs (I even own a Mauser), are you referring to one in particular?

Not reall don't know so much about Mauser. I do know my father used one wen he was in the military. I think he said the one he had was deisgned during the WWII or perhaps even before that. What I know did he tell me that the were extremly accurate.

He haven't talked so much about that since he dissliked guns and violence, even though he was an officer during his military service.
