Saw this video by member ForgottenWeapons on YouTube, and thought it might be of interest to our Lee Enfield collectors group ...
Today we have some video of a British 1918 Farquhar-Hill rifle at the range. This rifle was an early semiauto design that was accepted by the British army too late to see service in World War I, but was used as an observer's weapon in two-seater British aircraft. It is chambered for .303 British caliber, and feeds from a 19-round drum magazine.
Regards,
Doug

Two movements of the mag switch for each round inserted?! No charger guides on the mag? Pretty much obviates any advantage gained from being semi-auto I'd say.
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
