The Lee–Metford (also known as the Magazine Lee–Metford) is a British bolt action
rifle which combined James Paris Lee's rear-locking bolt system and detachable
magazine with an innovative seven-groove rifled barrel designed by William Ellis
Metford. It replaced the Martini–Henry as the standard service rifle of the British
Empire in 1888, following nine years of development and trials, but remained in
service for only a short time until replaced by the Lee–Enfield.
