Rapid fire with Lee Enfield
I was always wondering what the effects of rapid continuous fire on the Lee Enfield rifle barrel....for instance the SMLE rifle in the hands of the British army at the Battle of Mons in 1914...when the 70,000 Brits held off 160,000 Germans ...this is where the SMLE got its name as a extremely fast bolt action rifle....also in Korea Canadian and Commonwealth troops in several battles with the No.4 rifle held off huge numbers of communist troops.
Would the barrel have to be replaced after actons like this ..looking forward to all your input. :confused:
