The rifle was also equipped with a detachable, 10-round, double-column box magazine, a very modern development in its day. Originally, the concept of a detachable magazine was opposed in some British Army circles, as some feared that the individual soldier might lose the magazine during field campaigns. The Lee–Enfield was adapted to fire the .303 British cartridge, a rimmed, high-powered rifle round.

| + | The No.1 Mk.III SMLE is perhaps the best known member of the Lee-Enfield family of rifles. The first rifles to be given the SMLE (Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield) designation arrived in 1904, and featured a number of changes from earlier models. The most substantial changes were the shortening of the barrel and the introduction of a stripper clip guide on the bolt head. It is also here that the Lee-Enfield would gain one of its most defining visual features: its trademark blunt nose cap. These early SMLE rifles are known as 'Mk.I' pattern rifles. Three years after the Mk.I, the SMLE No.1 Mk.III was developed. In comparison to earlier SMLE models, the Mk.III featured a new rear sight and some aesthetic changes to the handguard and magazine. In addition, the stripper clip guide would be moved to a fixed location on the receiver bridge. The chambers were revamped to handle firing the improved Mk VII ammunition, which featured a pointed 'Spitzer' pattern bullet.<ref name = "303 brit ammo article">[https://talesfromthesupplydepot.blog/2017/09/20/mk-vii-303-rounds/ Supply Depot entry on the Mk.VII .303 cartridge]</ref> | ||

The most prominent change was the exclusion of the magazine cutoff system (which when engaged permits the feeding and extraction of single cartridges only while keeping the cartridges in the magazine in reserve). The long-range volley sights present on earlier models of Lee-Enfield rifles were also dropped. The rear sights were simplified, and could no longer be adjusted for windage.

It did away with the iconic nose cap of the SMLE, and features a simplified but stronger action.

Weapon Background
The Lee-Enfield is a bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating rifle that served as the main firearm used by soldiers of both the British Empire and the British Commonwealth. Rifles in the Lee-Enfield family would serve as the standard infantry rifle of the British army from 1895 to 1957.

Switching to a new square-shaped rifling system designed at the Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) Enfield solved the problem, and thus the Lee–Enfield was born.[1]

Trivia
- In WWI, the term 'mad minute' was coined. It referred to a technique for operating the Lee-Enfield that enabled the shooter to perform 15 hits on a 300 yard target in 60 seconds or less. Several First World War accounts tell of British troops repelling German attackers who subsequently reported that they had encountered machine guns, when in fact it was simply a group of well-trained riflemen armed with SMLE Mk.III rifles.[5]
- The rifle variant specific to Girls' Frontline is the No.4 Mk.1 (T), the sniper rifle version of the No.4 Mk.1 rifle used in World War 2. The (T) stands for 'Telescope', the term used at the time to refer to a magnified optic. Test batches of No.4 Mk.1 rifles would be fired, and the most accurate of these would be sent to famous British gunsmiths Holland & Holland. There they would receive a scope matched to the rifle by serial number, and a walnut cheek rest on the stock.[6]
- The telescopic sight Lee-Enfield uses is the No.32 MK II Scope.[7]
- Much like the M1903 Springfield's Pedersen Device, a prototype version of the Lee-Enfield rifle was built. The rifle was modified with a custom device, allowing the rifle to be shot semi-automatically, and was intended for Canadian Forces during World War II.
