It highlights the transition from Lee-Metford rifling to the more effective five-groove Enfield rifling, particularly with the advent of smokeless powder. The discussion covers design modifications for cavalry use, such as a rounded nose cap, enclosed front sight protector, and a flattened bolt handle to prevent snagging, along with a reduced six-round magazine. Variations like the New Zealand carbine and the Royal Irish Constabulary carbine are also explored, noting their limited production and specific adaptations.
