Sorry for the lack of descriptions! Many thanks to David Price, Mr. Sullivan, and the owner of the US Lees! Just about uploaded 'em with a big rock!!!

No descriptions needed, a picture can tell a thousand words, only problem you now face is which one not to buy !!!

I would sure like to measure that single shot and make a set of engineering drawings for it. That would be cool to manufacture a modern replica.
It looks like a Peabody with a central external hammer.

Just took a look at the rest of the photos.
I didn't know you would have stripped pictures of the 1899 4 lug bolt and barreled receiver. That is amazing. The single shot is amazing.
It is all pretty amazing except the Winchester-Lee. I have seen a few of those in person.
I like the turn bolt 4 lug and the single shot. I never seen that kind of detail on the 4 lug rifle and I didn't know the single shot existed. :super:

I guess Lee must have tried to get into the straight pull ultra small bore market.
The slant bolt is odd.
A quote I once read seems fitting. "Sometimes we are smart enough to make a bad idea work".

What the heck am I doing wrong, I looked on Rowdy's post and all I see is one photo of the gun and not any belt? Ray

Assuming you are not "extracting the urine" the term 'belt & braces' (suspenders) means doubling up so as to make sure its failsafe (a bit like carrying four spare tyres for your car in case you get a puncture 4 times on the same trip.

There is only the one photo of the gun.

God am I dumb :madsmile::banghead:
I was just wondering about the suspenders as the Remington 45/70 Lee belt I have has no provision for suspenders like my Win-Lee Navy belt has.

A bit late , but here's some brief description:
