The Lee Metford MkI* was Britain's first repeating bolt-action rifle, a crucial transitional piece. It featured James Paris Lee's action and Metford rifling, initially designed for black powder. However, the switch to Cordite smokeless powder caused rapid throat erosion, leading to the development of Enfield rifling and the eventual Lee-Enfield. This MkI* model, manufactured by BSA in 1891, shows specific markings and includes features like a dust cover, magazine cut-off, and volley sights.
