@@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654 tell me you didn’t read the description without telling me you didn’t read the description. It’s a factory made sporter. It was never a military configured rifle. Get over yourself.
I have two Lee Navy rifles my Grandpa bought them in the early twenties. Apparently, they had an extractor breakage problem, I have thirteen extractors for back up never have broken one. My grandfather had a saddle scabbard made which I also own, get one they are sweet shooters.
I have noticed the extractors seem to smack into the barrel on some Thats a lot of backups, nice collection. You should post the saddle scabbard, that sounds really cool. What versions are they?
They are enblocs. Have had trouble getting them to work because the follower doesn't have the force to strip them off, not sure if its from the clips, the ammo, or the spring. Don't have anything to compare it with unfortunately
mars_man if I remember correctly I believe it uses en bloc clips that actually aren’t necessary for feeding or loading. I’m more curious where they got the ammo. 6mm Lee is basically unobtainium
@@dantewolf707yep, the extractor on the Lee serves 3 purposes. It’s the extractor, ejector, and feed lips. The Lee clip looks a lot like a stripper clip because of this, since it doesn’t need its own feed lips which also removes another major problem of the en-bloc system. Because of this the Lee-Navy is also a controlled feed mechanism, although it works more like a push-feed. It’s really an ingenious rifle design and imo we should’ve use it instead of the Springfield 1903. My only problem with the rifle funnily enough is the magazine system as it’s completely open on the bottom unlike other en-bloc systems. There were some other minor problems with the rifle like weak firing pins and a poor and complicated trigger which were fixed with the Lee-Parkhurst but that never saw any adoption or major production as the navy was swapping to the krag. IMO Parkhurst’s modification would’ve been a better rifle than the Springfield 1903 but I would’ve modified it further to include a krag/1903 style firing pin (the cocking piece on the Lee would be therefore separate from the firing pin which can be removed and replaced along with the spring), a Ross rifle style trigger (say what you want about the Ross rifle but I think Ross made the best infantry rifle trigger), a Mauser style magazine (preferably with 6 rounds like the 1917 Enfield), a Lyman No.25 rear sight with a stripper clip guide (it would be modified to be a battle sight like the Ross Mk.III rear sight, but Lyman made a Climbing Lyman for the Lee-Navy that was modified to work with the Lee-Navy and retain zero through a spring), a 6 round stripper clip (of course only if a 6 round mag was adopted), the Winchester Model D stock (a modified 1903 stock with the Lee-Navy’s style of semi-pistol grip), and a 7mm round (likely similar to .280 Remington).
@@mars_man9971 awesome. Can I ask what you did make it from? I have heard of .220 Swift being used, but of course it would be a bit short. I've heard of .270 being used, but I thought the 6mm USN was skinnier. I have a friend who has a deep desire to load 6 Navy, so I am curious.
@@jacobmccandles1767 I haven't reloaded any, I don't have a reloading setup nor space for one. If I remember correctly they may have been formed from 25-06 cases.
