The Lee-Enfield .303 British rifle was first introduced in 1895. It was developed as a bolt-action rifle for the British Army and became the standard infantry weapon for British and Commonwealth forces during both World Wars and beyond. The rifle underwent several modifications and versions throughout its service life, with the last major variant, the No. 4 Mk I, being produced during World War II. Production of the Lee-Enfield continued until the late 1950s.
