  • The gun at 0:26 isn't a Lee Enfield.. It is a Lee Metford, the rifle just BEFORE the Enfield, and just AFTER the Martini Henry

  • @xXGreyWolf

    i`ve shooten with a lee enfield but when i fired kar98 i got a hole new view of the situation. the kar98 i think win. XD

  • i have 2 diffrent types of kar98! the kar98 is amazing acurate !!!!!! and they look sooOOoo awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D they are in dark nice wood! <3 thats why i chose kar98 :P but anyway i bet the Enfield No4 Mk1 is as good as a kar98! sorry for my bad english ! :P

  • Lee Enfield all the way. Anyone who says different has clearly never fired one!

  • Thats easy, K98 is winner

  • From my point of view, as someone who has been shooting guns since 1967, I would say that both guns are outstanding in all respects. My personal preference is the Mauser, because I love the accuracy, but for someone who prefers a faster rate of fire, the Enfield is the best of the best. Take it from me, I have fired both guns!

  • Lee Enfield (My vote):

    Cock on closing (smoother bolt, faster rate of fire)

    10 round detachable mag (Higher capacity, however only detachable for cleaning)

    No.4 has longer sight radius and peep sight for quicker sight line up/more precision

    Mauser:

    Dual forward locking lugs and one rear locking for stronger action

    8mm Mauser more powerful round for slightly better accuracy at extreme ranges

    Bolt doesn't require tools to disassemble

    Rimless cartridge for easier reloading/more reliable feeding

  • Lee Enfield: -10 rounds, also detachable box

    -quick throw bolt, faster rate of fire

    -No.4 has a better sight picture with the peep sights, which makes lining up targets faster.

    Mauser: -8mm cartridge has slightly better trajectory at extreme range,

    -thats about it.

  • Lee Enfield any day!

  • This video seems pretty pointless

  • mauser!

  • Comment removed

  • I have a Mauser and it's one of the best rifles I've ever fired. So reliable!

  • @andyhuangit But thats the point, the Lee-Enfield was a better rifle in both world wars in my opinion. Most engagements were at close quarters, where you will benefit alot from a faster firing higher capacity rifle like a Lee-Enfield.

  • 0:26 thats a Lee-Metford not Enfield

  • I own both, a K98K 8mm and an Enfield No4 Mk1 .303 British, and the only thing that the Enfield has above the Mauser is the 10 round removable magazine. That's it. With a stripper clip close at hand the Mauser is not far behind on the amount of lead it can throw in a short time span. I believe the Mauser to be more durable, better designed, more accurate and easier to shoot with the cock on close bolt. Just my thoughts though.

  • @RPHELPS922 I've only shot one Mauser and the accuracy was pretty terrible compared to any enfield and most rifles I've shot. When it comes to accuracy, it's really splitting hairs to compare them. The Enfield has enough accuracy for the job, and has proven it many times over. As for durability, the Enfield has also proven this.

  • @RPHELPS922 I prefer the Enfield bolt more than the Mausers, i think thats an advantage too, it can be worked alot faster than the Mauser bolt. The Mauser bolt is stronger and more sturdy, but i dont think that the cock on close bolt of the Enfield is a disadvantage at all, it made need a little more muscle than the Mausers at times, but you work it fast and it spits lead faster than any other rifle of the time. I wouldnt trade my Enfield for a Mauser, but id love to have both. Or a Mosin nagant

  • @RPHELPS922 The Mauser 98 system utilizes a cock-on-opening system. You might be thinking of the Swede Mauser 96's, but it's not my understanding that these ever saw a theatre of combat.

  • @RPHELPS922 Mausers cock on opening. the Lee Enfield cocks on closing.

  • I'm with the .303 British

  • actually the Lee Enfield had an ajustable sight which made it suprisingly more accurate than the mauser

  • @TheTcollins28

    The Kar98k has adjustable sights....virtually every rifle has adjustable sights.

    But adjustable sights have no bearing on accuracy as you can compensate for windage, range, elevation, etc without manipulating the physical sights....you just angle the rifle accordingly.

  • Yeah, if you're talking about long range shooting, then the Mauser reigns supreme simply by the ballistics. But also Germany was world renowned for it's supreme optics developments. Their telescopic sights were superb.

  • theres your in depth analysis bud

  • ya i prefer accuracy and power over rate of fire and all that :) thats just me hehe

  • kar98 is better of course.. slightly more accurate and more powerfull... mauser bullet is 8mm (7.92mm) and enfield bullet is 303 (7.7mm) so who ever says the lee enfield is more powerful is a dumbass, kar98 is more accurate just by a lil bit and is more soldier friendly rugged bolt action and i think kar98 looks better then lee enfield :)

  • and also the mauser action is the bases of all hunting rifles and who ever says the lee enfield has more history is retarded cuz the lee enfield was made because of the mauser and all the lee enfields accomplishments go under the mausers belt if no mauser then no enfield. but still both rifles has advantages, Kar98 more accurate and more powerful and easy to use, lee enfield has large mag capacity and smooth bolt action and better long range sights so... comes down to opinion i prefer Kar98 :)

  • @migliore44, can you specify how much more accurate a Mauser is then an Enfield? Is there a few inches of difference between the way Mauser and Enfield groups? Is it enough to entirely miss a man at 200 yards? How much does the .303 drop off compared to the 8mm mauser?

  • ok then buddy, if you could hit a coke can at 1000 yards with a kar98 or mauser then you could hit a coke can at 975 yards with lee enfield, (like if you could hit something at those ranges you would have to be skilled) but at 100 yards mauser groupings might be like under an inch if you have the rifle in a rifle hold and lee enfield might be under or over an inch, and 8mm could go threw 25 inchs of jello crap then lee enfield would go 20 inchs in, not much differences but still i prefer Kar98

  • @migliore44, LOL! Can you hit a coke can at 1000 yards with either rifle? Do you think soldiers in WW2 hit 1000 yard coke sized targets with iron sights? Under an inch would be like a highly accurate target rifle, the Kar98k isn't a highly accurate target rifle. To be honest, the .303 and 8mm mauser are more then enough to kill a man. Your, "in depth analysis" is like reading the entrails of a gutted pig.

  • u dumbass thats what i fucking meant, i was metaphoricly speaking that if you fucking could hit a can at 1000 yards with a mauser, with lee enfield you hit 975 yards you dumb fucker, i didnt actually mena someone hitting a can at 1000 yards, thats a fucking example you dumbass my in depth analysis was in your moms vagina, faggot if you reply to this comment you are gay, have no life, scumbag, assfucking fag that needs to get some pussy other then fondling your rifles receiver with your 2inch hog

  • @migliore44, are Childish insults all you have to lean on? Sad little kid.

  • hey you started it buddy by questioning me, only blame your self sunshine

  • I just think it's funny when people argue for Enfeild citing it's "faster firing rate" or "large mag capacity" as the end-all of this genre. They're freaking bolt guns! I mean wouldn't you laugh if you saw an Enfeild with a tach light, a polymer stock, and a 30 round mag stuck in it?

  • Both of these rifles are combat accurate, you can't really say one has a lot better accuracy then the other. If accuracy was all that matter then we would have never adopted semi automatic rifles. The reason I think the Enfield is better then the Mauser is because it has a smoother working bolt,better sights,and 5 extra rounds.

  • It really depends on the scenario I suppose. For closer range I might choose an Enfeild because it has a very smooth bolt and higher mag capacity and for me personally I can pop off more rounds faster with my Enfeild. And for a wide open area where I might be sniping or engaging targets at long range I might choose a Mauser.

  • I don't really see that argument that a Mauser would be much better at long range then an Enfield considering they used many Enfields with a scope.

  • My Enfeild doesn't have better long range sights than my mauser. my enfleid has ghost sights, not a flip up sight like many do. It is still accurate but the mauser in this case has better suited sights than my Enflield

  • It's a matter of opinion then.

  • Obviously, that's why I said in my original comment that personally for me I would have chosen a my Mauser for long range.

  • I collect Enfields, and I will take an Enfield over a Mauser any day of the week. I'm not saying anything is wrong with the Mauser, I just like the Enfield better. People don't realize the old .303 round is almost as powerful as a .30-06.

  • the 8x57mm mauser is just as apower full as the 30-06 and the cartridge is the same age as the 303

  • While it might be powerful, it's overpowered and too big.

  • i will have to go with lee enfeild cause its have a faster firing rate

  • Lee Enfield has 5 rounds on the mauser,this is coming from a 98k owner too. I like the Mauser better, but the enfield is probably more practicle.

  • MAUSER, more accurate and if I am corrct it has a better muzzel velocity!

  • actually, the Mauser and the enfield are about the same.

  • But the way the Marine Commandos used the enfield (5 guys firing in cannon) which there has been reporteds where the nazis thought it was a bren when it was some marine commands with enfields, so overall I'd say the enfield

  • Hmm... Again there not Marines, there Royal Marine Commando's, They Used the Silenced Sten Aswell.

  • yes, and on another occasion there were 1200 brittish troops against a charge of 3600 germans...the germans were all wiped out. I be willing to bet that if it was reversed it wouldn't have happened the same way.

    The lee enfield is by far better.

  • Yes, I'm supporting the enfield

  • I dont think so, Unless you've fired em both you can only compare them that way a Lee Enfield shoots up to 1000m Still Acurate while a Mauser is 860M Acurate

  • no, i have seen videos of people hitting targets dead on easy from 1000m, i can send you one

  • The Enfield is defiantly more accurate!

  • do u have an enfield? do u have a mauser? i have both and if im going to shoot long range for accuracy i grab the mauser. if im going to waste lead the enfield would be better out of the 2. my enfield is by a large margin my least accurate bolt action which includes my 20 inch barreled mosin nagant. nyahtake that rossco

  • It could be a lot of reasons why your Enfield is inaccurate, it could be you,weak rifleing,not sighted in, or bad ammo. My Enfield is very accurate.

  • Kar98 is the best but i like both so my vote is even haha but since i own a K98 i have to say ICH LIEBE DICH MASUER KARABINER98!!! haha

  • Lee Enfield that rifle saved allot of soldiers and it still does

    LEE SAVE THE QUEEN!

  • the mauser is stronger and more accurate the lee has got a slightly faster action ,the mauser is better ,but the lee is very good too ,the man behind the rifle counts more than the gun , I HAVE USED BOTH recently !!

  • Enfield is a piece of crap..........

  • lee enfield obiously

  • mauser is better

  • Mauser obviously

  • lee enfield beats the mauser anyday

  • mauser, no doubt. what good comes from england anyway?

  • Fish and Chips. Cream Tea. Fox Hunting. America. Australia. An Empire.

  • there you go, i rest my case...

  • enfield all the way

  • They have their advantages and disadvantages...SMLE is a combat rifle, Mauser is a sniper rifle.

  • Definitely THE LEE ENFIELD!!! All the way...

  • i love the mauser, but the enfield typically can do greater damage. The enfield can shoot faster than a semi auto rifle, and more accurately at that, and the larger mag capacity allows it to compete with modern weapons.

  • Mauser all the way. Better accuracy, better looking, and better made (like their cars)

  • lee-enfield all the way

  • Mauser for me, more accurate, better made,has a menacing look,and quality german craftsmanship (like thier cars)

    and im English, so can't call me biased

  • Why do you hate the Queen?

  • i saw them using mp5s and other sub-machine guns, i dont think Indian SF use this rifle, only the reserves

  • you right the irish defence force is shit and the indian army

  • because its crappy?!

  • Personally i would choose the 98k every time simply because of its durability, accuracy, and sexy feel, although i do like the lee en field allot too.

    the 5 round clip is fine, i feel the fewer rounds trains you to be more accurate with each shot and make every one count.

  • people say the enfield has a faster bolt than the mauser, which if true is not much faster because I can work the bolt on my mauser really fast , the mauser is a much better gun , the ammo amount can be modified as well as the sights

  • Personally id choose the Lee Enfield,

    But i do like the Mauser 98K :D

  • lee enfield is still in service in some armies today!

  • wow cuz that wasnt biased at all =/

    mauser action is stronger enfield has larger magazine capacity and higher rate of fire due to its bolt design, id choose an enfield but thats just me

  • people think the mauser action is stronger because the firing pin resets when the bolt is lifted upwards, where as the enfield the firing pin resets on the forward push. i would choose mauser because thats my favorite, and because its brisk when opening, your bolt cant dis-engage when the shit hits the fan. Lee Enfields a beautiful rifle, also, but favorites are favorites.

  • I think they are the same because the Mauzer is a little bit more accurate and more powerfull. But the Leenfield has a bigger clip and has better rate of fire.

    Its really about personal prefferance on these 2 rifles.

    But about the Nagant......

    its heavier, less accurate, longer, less practical(because bayonetts are very difficult to put on and they are not stable and the actual disighn of the bolt action system is inferrior to both the leenfied and the mauzer)Whoeversaid the nagant wasbetter.

  • In my opinion the mosin nagant beats both-I have many reasons and facts to back up my claim! next id say the enfield then the mauser

  • Lee Enfield every day. Enfield has 10 rounds each of which is .311 wide (not .303 as most think) which is 7.9mm where as the mauser is 7.92mm. Enfield just as accurate and has a higher rate of fire.

  • true but the lee enfield bolt cant handle magnum bullets and the mauser bullet is bigger [ there as good as each other to me]

  • the bolt doesn't need to as it was designed for the .303 catridge, however the cock on close mechanism can use magnum rounds. The mauser round is only 0.2mm wider which is no difference what so ever.

  • 0.02mm*

  • the lee enfield bolt system cant handle a maguum cartige like the 300 win mag because it has to high of peressers

  • thats rubbish, there's no evidence what so ever to proove that to my knowledge. Especially considering every rifle was tested to withstand more that a 1/3 higher pressure that the standard round.

  • thats just  what i herd sorry

  • sorry mate I didnt mean to come across in an aggressive way.

  • it watten agressive but ive allways wonderd  why all the hunting rifles use the mauser bolt

  • becuase people assume its more accurate which is not true its just reputation.

  • Nice, but take some more pics and music.: )

  • ok, but i coudent get the music to work  right

  • Its always the same with the first few videos, you will see its getting easier and better.
