I have two 1915 Enfields in working condition. Very possibly one or both of them killed someone in WWI because that's why they were manufactured. Obviously I'm not the original owner, but POTENTIALLY deadly as they are, they've been pretty safe in my hands.
You do realize East Coast cities still have lead water pipes and asbestos insulation in many of their older buildings, right?
