Title: 1895 Lee Navy Post by reincarnated on Feb 1st, 2018 at 3:33am
Ten + years ago, I spent a lot of time and a few hundred $$ looking for a Lee Navy rifle in collectible condition. Then one guy was reportedly killed when shooting one (firing pin blew out the back of the bolt & entered shooter's head) and I rapidly lost interest.
Shortly after that, I read that the USMC came up with an in-service fix to remedy that problem. Apparently some rifles have the fix but most do not. Fix is a wide external band on the outside of the rear of the bolt. Does anyone know any of the USMC/USN details? |
