The 1896 Lee Enfield Carbine is a notable historical firearm, distinguished by its flat bolt and magazine cutoff. While the specific example shown is in rough condition, a fully restored model can command a significant price in the Canadian market, ranging from $2,000 to $3,000. The carbine is chambered in .303 British, a classic caliber for British military rifles.
This review details the rare Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) Enfield Carbine, a modified Lee-Enfield rifle. Originally declared obsolete by the British military, these carbines were adapted for the RIC with significant stock and muzzle modifications to accept an 1888 pattern bayonet. The video highlights its unique bolt handle, safety mechanism, magazine cutoff, and tangent sights, along with identifying markings and its limited production numbers.
