1899 Remington Lee

[jmoore]

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.
