SMLE HISTORY: The Lee-Enfield was the British Army's standard bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating rifle from 1895 until 1956. It was adopted by Britain's colonies and Commonwealth allies, including India, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. After the war, it became a popular civilian hunting rifle, after being "sporterized"--often fitted with scopes, or replacing military sights with high-quality commercial varieties. The Short Magazine model of the Lee Enfield was introduced in 1904. Shorter and lighter than the first Lee Enfield rifles, it had a barrel that was midway between the original "long rifle" and the shorter carbine. Its visual trademark was its "blunt nose", with the barrel extending beyond the nosecap. The shorter Lee Enfield also incorporated a charger loading system--an innovation borrowed from the German Mausers used by South African Boers.
Some experts at the time felt it was a bad fit all around--too short for cavalry and not long enough for the accurate, long-range fire needed by massed infantry. Still, the Short Magazine Lee Enfield was serviceable enough to remain in official service for British troops until 1956, and some British Commonwealth nations still use them to this day. Used by British troops in both World Wars, the Short Magazine Lee Enfield merits a place in any collection of British weapons of war.
