The British Enfield MkI is a large, heavy top-break revolver chambered in .455 Enfield MkI. While considered advanced for its time, its ergonomics are poor, with a high grip and a long, heavy double-action trigger pull. The sights are small, and the top-break action, while allowing for quick unloading, can still result in ejected cartridges. Despite its advanced features for the era, its overall design is considered less than the sum of its parts.

This guide details the disassembly and reassembly of the British Enfield MkI revolver, focusing on its complex lockwork and unique extraction system. It highlights the modified Warnant mechanism, the role of the fifth component, and the selective extraction feature. Proper tools and caution are advised due to the intricate nature of the firearm's internal components.
