This video details the Lee Navy rifle, a limited production straight-pull rifle adopted by the US Navy. It highlights a critical design flaw where a gas vent channel could direct hot gas into the shooter's eye during case failures. A later modification involved adding a bolt shield, often riveted, to mitigate this issue, though these shields sometimes failed during service, notably during the Spanish-American War.
