This video dives into the Remington-Lee Model 1899, the final iteration of the Remington Lee Military Rifle. It highlights the rifle's redesign for smokeless powder ammunition, featuring a new detachable bolt head with enhanced locking lugs. The description outlines production numbers for various entities, including the Michigan National Guard, Cuban Rural Guard, and commercial models, and lists the calibers offered, such as .30 U.S.A. (.30-40), 7mm Mauser, 7.65mm Mauser, .303 British, and 6mm Lee Navy.
This video explores the Roth Haenel Model 1899, a semiautomatic sporting rifle developed by Georg Roth and Karel Krnka. Marketed by Haenel, the rifle featured a long recoil, rotating bolt design and was chambered for the 8x45mm cartridge. The description highlights the rifle's high price ($150 around 1900-1905) as a likely reason for its lack of commercial success, especially when compared to much cheaper bolt-action rifles and shotguns. The video also touches upon the question of whether it was the first commercial sporting semiautomatic rifle available, noting its contemporary status with early Remington and Winchester offerings.
