Nein.  I used to shoot my dad's rifles (he has an Enfield and an M1) and plenty of rifle shooting experience from Boy Scouts (.22, .30-06, black powder), but I don't (yet) have my own rifle.

Oh, I forgot: I have actually fired a Kentucky rifle.  In fact, I belong to the Order of the Kentucky Rifle.  :cool: I have a little plaque hanging in my office for that feat.  Belonging to the Order of the Kentucky Rifle also means (for some reason unknown to me) that I'm a citizen of West Point, Kentucky... a little town between Louisville and Ft.

Those are cool since on most guns the little notches some one carves into the stock signify each person the holder of the rifle killed.  With a Mosin each notch signifies each Russian who was killed carrying this particular firearm.

M1 is from 1936 I believe.  Enfield is pre-WWI.  1912 maybe.  Of course the version you probably have seen is one of the many updates.  Some of the Enfields were in American service as the M1917 (and were badly recalibured for American 30.06).  Half the AEF was armed with such weapons.
