    1899 Remington Lee

    A brief beginning of a photo and information thread dedicated to the last of the turnbolt Remington-Lee designs. (Driven by topic drift on the 1879 Remington Lee thread.)

    See: 1879 Remington Lee Photos, etc. (Warning! LOTS of big photos) for the first model Lee.

    ETA:Another link showing the 1899 in the hands of the Michigan National Guard:
    1899 Remington Lee in Michigan

    Some photos to start- There may be old repeats, but they haven't been seen by most folk:


    #1a) The US Lee family. From the top down:
    "1899" Remington Lee
    Winchester Lee Straightpull action
    "1885" Remington Lee
    "1882" Remington Lee
    "1879" Remington Lee- originally produced by Sharps with a slighty simpler magazine that did not retain rounds well outside the weapon.


    #1b) Closer view of the action. There's no real safety, but the enlarged end of the cocking piece could be used to lower the striker- but it's not recommended as a general rule with a loaded round in the chamber!



    #1c) "End of the line" for two divergent Lee design paths.
