    The Remington Lee Rifles predate both the Lee Enfield and the earlier Lee Metford. The first Lee rifles date from just before 1880. Most were in 45-70 or .43 Spanish. I have seen a cut away drawing of a later rifle that appears to be chambered for .30-40 Krag (.30 Army) about 1890 or a little after. A lot of the internals are very like the Lee Enfield. Lots to learn about rifles.
    Regards Grandpamac.
