At the end of WW2 and into the 70's the Greeks were supplied with British (first) and later American small arms including Enfields, Garands, Thompsons, etc. in support of the non-communist Hellenistic government. The Greeks took what they could get and from the birth of their modern nation until the 70's fielded Steyrs, Carcano's, Mausers, Mannlinchers, Enfields, Garands, and gosh knows what else in calibers ranging from the 6.5mm Carcano to the 7.92mm Mauser.
