The CLLE MkI Naval Enfield was a rare British Navy conversion of older Long Lee rifles, modernized in 1911-1912 for Mark VII high-velocity ammunition and stripper clip use. These rifles, originally BSA Lee-Metford MkIIs, received charger bridges and modified dust covers. Rear sights were recalibrated for the flatter trajectory of HV ammo, marked with 'HV' and graduated to 1900 yards.
The Royal Navy's SMLE MkI** was a unique variant designed to retain compatibility with older MkVI round-nose ammunition while incorporating improved sights for MkVII spitzer rounds. Key features included a charger guide on the bolt and a windage-adjustable rear sight. Later versions around 1912 adopted a fixed charger bridge. Original MkI** rifles are rare today due to subsequent upgrades.
