Description
The Lee-Metford
rifle (a.k.a. Magazine Lee-Metford, abbreviated MLM)
was a bolt-action British army service rifle,
combining James Paris Lee's rear-locking bolt system
and eight-round magazine with a seven groove rifled
barrel designed by William Ellis Metford. It
replaced the Martini-Henry rifle in 1888, following
nine years of development and trials, but remained
in service for only a short time until replaced by
the similar Lee-Enfield. |
