This video delves into Latvia's unique Charger-Loading Lee Enfield (CLLE) Cavalry Carbine, a rare firearm assembled in the early 1920s by BSA using older Lee Metford and Long Lee parts. Commissioned by Latvian cavalry forces during the Latvian War of Independence after receiving British P14 Enfield support, these carbines featured 21-inch barrels and a charger clip bridge. They remained in service through World War Two, with replacement barrels sourced from Tikkakoski in Finland. The description highlights their post-war fate, including potential Red Army reserve service and use by anti-Soviet partisans, leading to their scarcity today. The example shown features a Tikka barrel.
