* It's a either a sporter [[M1917 Enfield]] or the British predecessor the Pattern 1914 in .303. Considering that the movie was filmed in Africa I would lean towards the P14, but there were not many versions of the .303 made and the 30-06 American version exceeded a million. Thousands of the 30-06 version were given to England in the early days of World War II under the Lend Lease Act. So it might be the Model 1917. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 23:18, 15 September 2011 (CDT) | * It's a either a sporter [[M1917 Enfield]] or the British predecessor the Pattern 1914 in .303.Pay attention to the rear sight and the unique bolt handle design.

- It's a either a sporter M1917 Enfield or the British predecessor the Pattern 1914 in .303.Pay attention to the rear sight and the unique bolt handle design.
