so I guess the 1888 mauser rifles and lee metfords(the progenitor of the lee enfield) were a dead end first gen rifle? I suppose that so were the type 30 arisakas(1896) and M96 mausers. all of those those were updated and upgraded into very successful military rifles, some of the most successful of all time as a matter of fact.

people often defend carcanos and mosin nagants as if they were the first bolt actions ever made... no, they weren't even the first that were mass produced for military.
