The Lee-Metford rifle is a bolt-action rifle developed in the late 19th century, primarily for the British Army. It was designed by James Paris Lee and incorporated a magazine that could hold up to ten rounds of .303 caliber ammunition. The rifle was known for its accuracy and effective range, making it a significant advancement in military firearms of its time. Introduced in 1888, the Lee-Metford rifle featured a unique rifling system that improved bullet stability. It was widely used during the Second Boer War and later replaced by the Lee-Enfield rifle due to the latter's faster loading capabilities. The Lee-Metford remains an important part of military history.
