This video delves into the rare CLLE MkI Naval Enfield rifle, a unique stopgap produced around 1910-1912 for the British Royal Navy. These rifles were converted from older Long Lee or Metford patterns to accommodate the new MkVII high-velocity Spitzer ammunition, which was typically issued on charger clips for SMLE rifles. The conversion involved recalibrating the rear sights for the new ammunition (though without windage adjustment), adding a charger bridge, and modifying the bolt by removing early dust covers. The guns were marked "HV" for high velocity and "CLLE MkI". The video highlights the historical context and the peculiar nature of this naval variant.
