6mm Navy Straight Pull: The 1895 Lee Navy Rifle
This video dives into the history and mechanics of the 1895 Lee Navy Rifle, a straight-pull rifle developed for the US Navy. It details the rifle's chambering in the .236 Navy cartridge, a modern small-bore round, and its innovative James Paris Lee tilting bolt action and en bloc clip system. The rifle served the Navy for about six years before being replaced by the 1903 Springfield. The video also touches on its combat use, a few design quirks, and its commercial failure against surplus Mausers.
