Deleted12492376User Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Well, here's hoping this idea is original. A Lee-Enfield rifle mod, yes, it's a basic weapon, yeah, it appears in a lot of media, but I feel it does have a few things to offer if made into a mod form. I mean, we all know about it, it's a bolt-action rifle, it has ten rounds, and it was widely used by the British Empire, it's (former) territories, and is the second longest serving rifle next to the Mosin Nagant.But, with the wide variants of the Lee-Enfield family, I feel we could have a pretty dynamic rifle, from the MLE all the way to the SMLE No. 4. Plus, the Lee-Enfield could even feature two reload animations, one where the box magazine is used, similar to the base hunting rifle, and another one where it's fed via stripper clips. Yeah, the box magazine was detachable, although doing so was a practice largely discouraged in the field. Well, that's my basic idea. Tell me what you think, and/or what else you think it could be if made into a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montky Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I think an L-E was in the WARS weapons pack.so, you could have a wood-furniture MLE or a metallic one 'skeletonized'.I'd sure like the parts for n^X! worth of combos... some experimental Lee Enfield prototypes will at some stagebe part of the Forgotten Weapons parts packs. you could also have a 'wasteland'-ified one, with welded on picatinny rail either direct to the barrel or to the housing and all...really cannibalize it. stripper clip retainer, magazine cutoff and all like those Vickers-Maxim "Spitfire"or the Sten-Sterling 3 mag selector fed and Sten-Sterling "adapt-all" implements,trying to basically copy an M3 Grease-gun... put a 200 round DoubleD drum mag on, and you've got a bullet-hose conversion.(the straight pull HMG Lee Enfield prototype did something like that)8 minutes of travel at 50 ft was what very quickly killed that idea haha.very formidable if it's in 5.56 or with high-expansion rounds...if it had the Vickers-Maxim treatment, you'd have a 3 mag selector,and be able to have say, a 20-20-20 or a 20-10-20 setup,with 4 or 5 more on tap with a stripper guide!65 rounds + 1 in the chamber,or, with the D mag,240 + 1 (you'd probably only load to 235) hows about those Gloucestershire G-mags...the back rib of the magazine has a N-stripper guide, making transfers from strip to mag much easier!that is real "Wallace and Gromit" level awesome!the reciever had a retainer for 2 strippers to be sat in. one with 5, one with 4... so you just had to top up with one.a hole in the stripper clip could be used as an improvised peep sight.Officers often whittled a diamond shape or cross into that.doctrine was to load from the stripper or have the field implement be loadable from one,so 2 is fairly awesome. A Lee-Enfield "over and under" - a 308 with a 410 under 4 round shotgun was also considered.the under part would have been like a lancaster set-trigger for either/or firing,though a "both at once" was considered... imagine if the .357Long had been a thing!the Lee Enfield experimental b series was toying with a .357Long variant.that'd mean you could have a .357 or .357 short double stack in the same,so it'd be "pedderson device" like hehe. That's a great segue to the"baby Lee Enfield", a miniaturized skeletonized para-trooper and law enforcement variant considered.the bolt action was reworked to be more reciprocating,and it had a 'coathanger stock" and was a 9inch barrel or so,it very much overall looks a lot like a canabalized keltec sub 2000.the captive lug/detent system for interchangable barrels and modular adaptall stuff...that was way ahead of its time! -----I mean, the 308 lapua SMLE 20-rounder is still used today. its a naval implement and an airforce embarked implement.(thats for where aircrew lay down in the cargo bay and take a pot-shot hehe)high frangible, incendiary or high expansion munitions.it's not going anywhere, it's like the M14 or the Mosin-Nagant, it's real iconic.

Man, I'm impressed. Those ideas are things I probably never would've thought of, and you got some good information on some stuff I didn't even know. Would be one helluva mod if we included all that.
