The Lee-Enfield is a British bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating rifle and was the main firearm used by the military of the British Empire and Commonwealth during the first part of the 20th century. It was the standard rifle from 1895, when it was first adopted, until 1957.
Featuring a ten-round box magazine that was loaded with the .303 British cartridge manually from the top. Named after James Paris Lee, the designer of the bolt system used, and the factory where it was designed, the Royal Small Arms factory in Enfield, the Lee-Enfield remained in service until the 1990’s.
