This video provides an in-depth look at the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) Enfield Carbine, a modified variant of the British military Lee Enfield and Lee Metford carbines. Around 10,000 of these were converted in 1903-1904 to allow for the mounting of 1888 pattern Metford bayonets, requiring a spliced stock section and a modified nose cap. The description details the historical context, noting these carbines were deemed obsolete after the Boer War with the introduction of the SMLE. Key differentiators from similar New Zealand contract carbines, such as the wood at the nose cap and sling attachments, are also highlighted. The video emphasizes the historical significance and rarity of these firearms.
