Lee-Enfield SMLE

The Lee-Enfield SMLE is a bolt-action combat rifle that used by the British during World War I and World War II. It has a ten round magazine that is loaded by two five round stripper clips.

The bolt action cocks on closing, in contrast to Mauser-type rifles which cock on opening. The action is known for being exceptionally smooth.
