    Tactfully, I hope :>) I mention that you may have overlooked this, which I "cut 'n paste".

    ".....The term 'battle rifle' is a neologism. It was first used in the late 1990's by various firearms publications and by several notable firearms writers. It is not defined or frequently used in military field manuals and government documents. There are some U.S. government requisition requests that do make mention of the "MK14 Enhanced Battle Rifle",[2] but those documents may just be using the manufacturer's designation. Prior to the 1990s, the term was not well defined and was used as a general description for all types military rifles......"

    I defy anyone to dismiss the magnificent Enfield with this neologic term.
