In reply to:
Springfield action .303's. With those funny "ears" on top of the action at the back, which are often milled off on custom rifles.
I think that's the Enfield rifle.
British Enfield .303 caliber P14 rifle, made in USA by Winchester.
US .30 caliber (.30-06) M1917 rifle.
The Enfield Pattern 1914 was in .303 British and made for the British Government by several U.S. companies. The Enfield M-1917 (Pattern 1917) was in .30-06 and made for the United States government (to help alleviate the shortage of Springfield Model 1903 rifles).
Well, we're getting a little off topic but this is interesting in itself.
