This video examines the Electrolux Charlton, a rare semiautomatic rifle developed from the bolt-action Charlton automatic rifle. The Charlton itself was a conversion of Lee rifles into a light machine gun. The Electrolux variant, built by the appliance company, featured a more refined design, a shorter gas system, and was intended as a shoulder-fired rifle rather than an LMG. It used standard No1 MkIII rifles as its base. The project was canceled in 1944, with only a few prototypes produced, including the example shown from the British Royal Armouries collection. The video details the differences from the original Charlton and the Electrolux version's mechanics.
