This video showcases a rare 1893 Lee-Metford Trials Carbine, one of only 100 ever produced. The presenter highlights key differences between this trial model and the eventually adopted pattern, including its exposed muzzle (similar to Martini carbines), the absence of a safety and sling attachments, and the presence of a barrel band. It features the bent bolt handle found in later models and a short 6-round magazine. The video focuses on this specific carbine, serial number 32, providing an in-depth look at a unique piece of firearms history.
